**5.1.1 Splenic torsion**

This is the main complication of wandering spleen, it usually reveals this abnormality. Pain is at the forefront of the symptoms. Splenic torsion is an emergency situation as it can quickly lead to irreversible splenic ischemia. In our series (François-Fiquet et al, 2010), 6 patients (43%) had splenectomy for splenic ischemia, but the torsion can complicate up to 65% of pediatrics cases (Romero & Barksdale, 2003).
