Abdominal pseudotumor caused by gastric displacement of the spleen: sonographic demonstration.
An infant with a factitious abdominal mass due to splenic displacement by the distended stomach is described. Two other cases of this phenomenon have been previously reported, both in infants and both diagnosed by radionuclide scans and plain radiographs. In our patient, diagnosis was made with ultrasound without the need for further studies.
