A wandering spleen detected by 99mTc-denatured RBC scan
Authors
Abstract:
A 23 day old infant patient underwent 99mTc-denatured RBC scanning for locating possible ectopic spleen in our department. The scan showed no tracer activity in normal splenic bed in the left upper quadrant and an ectopic spleen was shown on the right side of abdomen inferior to the liver. 99mTc-denatured RBC scan is an easy and available method for splenic localization in pediatric patients.

full textWandering spleen: a surgical enigma
Wandering spleen, also referred to as 'ptotic spleen', is a rare clinical condition characterized by splenic migration form its normal left hypochondrial position to any other abdominal or pelvic position. Among the multifactorial etiologies proposed, laxity of the spleen's primary supporting ligaments is the most agreed-upon hypothesis. We present one rare case of wandering spleen in an 11-yea...
full text[Torsion of a wandering spleen].
The torsion of an ectopic (= wandering) spleen is a rare entity especially in children. Clinically it presents either with signs of an "acute abdomen" or as a fairly painful abdominal "tumor" of the chronic recurrent type. Ultrasonography, arteriography, and additional scintigraphy in special cases are of greatest value in the preoperative diagnostic management. Splenopexy, sometimes after rese...
