Resumen

BEJERANO GARCIA, Ramiro Julio. Ectopic spleen in a young woman. MEDISAN [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.8, pp. 1166-1171. ISSN 1029-3019.

The case report of a young pregnant woman, in whom an abdominal tumor was diagnosed which immediately forced to interrupt pregnancy is described. Some days later she began to experience the characteristic signs and symptoms of a peritoneal acute abdomen, considered as a complication of the above menctioned pathological process. The imaging studies showed an ectopic spleen, reason why a total splenectomy was decided. During surgery it was found that this viscera had caused an irreversible vascular injury, attributable to its abnormal anatomical position, with a very long and bent pedicle; but the clinical course was satisfactory.

Palabras clave : woman; ectopic spleen; total splenectomy.
