    Author: Taori K, Sanyal R, Deshmukh A, Saini T.
    Journal: Br J Radiol; 2005 Nov; 78(935):1050-2. PubMed ID: 16249609.
    Abstract:
    Wandering spleen is a rare entity, in which the spleen is abnormally mobile due to its attachment by a long vascular pedicle. This long vascular pedicle predisposes it to various complications, the most common being torsion. Here, we present a case in which a wandering spleen in a young female was complicated by pseudocyst formation, and discuss the possible aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and therapeutic implications of this extremely rare complication.
