title: Intermittent torsion of a wandering spleen in a child: the role of MRI in diagnosis.
abstract: Wandering spleen is a rare condition, particularly in children. We report a pediatric case of intermittent torsion of a wandering spleen. The preoperative diagnosis was made based on ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A detailed description of MRI findings is presented and the role of MRI in diagnosis is explored.
