Abstract

SALDIVAR-MARTINEZ, Daniel E. et al. Infarcted wandering spleen and pancreatic volvulus in a patient with concomitant Grynfelt-Lesshaft haernia. Cir. cir. [online]. 2021, vol.89, suppl.1, pp.20-22.  Epub Feb 08, 2022. ISSN 2444-054X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20000813.

Wandering spleen is a rare condition, generally due to congenital abnormalities of the dorsal mesogastrium or splenic suspensory ligaments and not traumatic events. The most frequent complication is torsion of the splenic hilus with ischemia or splenic infarction and its association with pancreatic volvulus is extremely rare. There are no reported cases of wandering spleen with pancreatic volvulus in association with a post traumatic Grynfelt-Lesshaft haernia. We present a case of a 43-year-old female patient with an association of these three entities and a history of abdominal trauma.

Keywords : Wandering spleen; Splenic infarction; Pancreatic volvulus; Lumbar haernia; Grynfelt-Lesshaft.
