Detorsion of Wandering Spleen Causes Significant Hypersplenism Resulting in Thrombocytopenia and Spinal Cord Injury: A Case Report
Preserving the spleen is recommended for wandering splenic torsion, especially in children. In the present case, splenectomy was necessary because of rapid thrombocytopenia caused by increased splenic function after detorsion of the spleen; however, there have been no similar case reports in the past. This condition can be potentially dangerous and can lead to serious complications.
