Wandering spleen and gastric volvulus are two rare entities that have been described in association with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The diagnosis is difficult and any delay can result in ischemia and necrosis of both organs. We present a case of a 13-year-old girl, previously operated on for anterior diaphragmatic hernia and intrathoracic gastric volvulus, that presented to our service for a subdiaphragmatic gastric volvulus recurrence associated with a wandering spleen. In this report we reviewed the literature, analyzing the clinical presentation, diagnostic assessment, and treatment options of both conditions, in particular in the case associated with diaphragmatic hernia.

Gastric volvulus (GV) and wandering spleen (WS) associated with eventration of diaphragm share a common pathological cause of absence or laxity of intraperitoneal ligaments. We herein report a rare case of a 13-year-old child presenting with an acute GV, WS, diaphragmatic eventration and an ectopic ascended kidney managed with a laparoscopic approach.

Background: Wandering spleen (WS) is an uncommon splenic disorder defined as the displacement of the spleen from its usual anatomical position. It is most prevalent in females in their reproductive age. It can be encountered incidentally or may present with symptoms. Risks of complications exist and vary with the presentation. Several imaging techniques are able to define it clearly preoperatively. Laparoscopic surgery is the definitive diagnostic and therapeutic method. Case Report: A 24-year-old pregnant female patient presented to the Emergency Department complaining of intermittent dull abdominal pain and pelvic heaviness for 9 days. Contrast- Enhanced Computed Tomography and a color Doppler sonography of the abdomen and pelvis showed a large-sized spleen in the pelvis corresponding to a diagnosis of WS, without ischemic signs. The patient underwent a laparoscopic splenectomy and was vaccinated for Haemophilus influenza, meningococcus, and pneumococcus postoperatively. The post-operative period was uneventful, and the patient later delivered a full-term baby girl by a Cesarean section. Conclusion: This is, to the best of our knowledge, the second reported case of laparoscopic splenectomy in a pregnant patient with WS. While splenopexy is associated with better outcomes, splenectomy seems to be preferred in pregnant patients, who may undergo a vaginal delivery, but guidelines and data are still scarce regarding the management of WS in pregnancy. Vaccination against encapsulated bacteria is required in case of splenectomy
