"6396","Wandering spleen: A common presentation of an uncommon anomaly","Background: With the advent of real time ultrasonography of the abdomen, the spleen is no longer an inaccessible organ. Wandering spleen is a rare entity with only less than 500 cases reported so far. Method: This  case report presents a 16-year- old Nigerian girl admitted in a medical centre but referred for ultrasonography on account of a clinical history of lower abdominal tenderness. Result: Ultrasonography examination revealed that the spleen was not found in its normal anatomical position. However, a well defined acoustic signature of the spleen was seen in the pelvis. Conclusion: Ultrasonography which is far cheaper than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) is a valuable diagnostic aid in this condition","http://cogprints.org/6396/","Ugwu , AC and Ogbonna, CO and Imo, AO","Kakkilaya, Dr. Srinivas","       <span class=\"person_name\">Ugwu , AC</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Ogbonna, CO</span> and <span class=\"person_name\">Imo, AO</span>     (2009)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/6396/\"><em>Wandering spleen: A common presentation of an uncommon anomaly.</em></a>       [Journal (On-line/Unpaginated)]           ","tonybullng@yahoo.ca,,","2009-02-25"
