Abstract

Wandering spleen is rare clinical entity caused by absence or weakness of splenic ligaments due to acquired or developmental causes. It is usually seen in pediatric age group, rarely seen in multiparous females. Unusually long suspensory ligaments of spleen leads to torsion of splenic pedicle. It usually presents as acute or chronic intermittent abdominal pain. Pseudocyst formation is one of the rare complication. Here we present a case of Wandering spleen in a young female presented with complication of pseudocyst.
