Abstract

Spleen is well fixed on the left side of diaphragm with peritoneal bonds. Wandering spleen is a rare medical condition with its yet unknown pathogenesis. Wandering spleen is mostly located in lower abdomen or pelvis. Diagnosis is difficult if it is not suspected. Spleen can often be palpated in lower abdomen. Rarely it can be symptomatic when there is torsion of splenic vascular pedicle and splenectomy should be performed in this case. We report and evaluate a case who underwent splenectomy due to torsion of wandering spleen resulted in acute abdomen with a review of relevant literature. Turkish Başlık: Akut Karnın Nadir Bir Nedeni Olarak Gezici Dalak Torsiyonu: Olgu Sunumu Anahtar Kelimeler: Torsiyon; gezici dalak/cerrahi Dalak diyaframın sol tarafında peritoneal bağlarla oldukça iyi fikse olmuş bir organdır. Henüz bilinmeyen patolojisi ile gezici dalak oldukça nadir görülen bir klinik durumdur. Gezici dalak en sık alt karın veya pelvise yerleşir. Şüphelenilmezse tanı koyabilmek zordur. Sıklıkla dalak alt karında palpe edilebilir. Nadir olgularda splenik vasküler pedikül torsiyona uğradığında semptomatik olabilir ve splenektomi yapılmalıdır. Bu yazıda, akut karna yol açmış gezici dalak torsiyonu nedeniyle splenektomi yaptığımız olgu literatür eşliğinde değerlendirilmiştir.
