Wandering spleen--the radiological and clinical spectrum

DH Gordon, MI Burrell, DC Levin, CF Mueller and JA Becker

Eight cases of wandering spleen demonstrate that this rare entity has a characteristic constellation of findings which, though nonspecific, are highly suggestive of the diagnosis. Angiography or isotopic imaging specific for the spleen confirms the diagnosis. Asymptomatic patients may be carefully observed, with the institution of splenectomy should signs of torsion develop.
