Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The occurrence of wandering spleen is rarely referred to in the pediatric surgical literature. We treated two unusual cases with this anomaly. The first case had an acute abdominal problem associated to a wandering spleen and a diaphragmatic eventration. Splenectomy was performed because of splenic infarction. In the second case the wandering spleen was associated with gastric bleeding due to left-sided portal hypertension, and splenectomy was inevitable. |
