Doctors discovered a rare case of a US citizen suffering from abdominal pain, which is called “lost spleen” or “migratory spleen” or “spleen volvulus.”
According to The New England Journal of Medicine, the patient (36 years old), before contracting this disease, underwent liver tests that did not reveal any disease or abnormality in the spleen. But after a day, he felt a sharp pain in his stomach and started vomiting.
She was then transferred to the emergency hospital, where she underwent further tests that showed her spleen prolapse, at a distance of 30 cm. According to doctors, the cause of this decrease is the liver, which is connected to the spleen by an intravenous system.
Previously, doctors had diagnosed the woman’s infection with hepatitis, which turned into cirrhosis, which in turn caused obstruction of blood flow in the circulatory system, resulting in a large amount of blood remaining in the spleen, which caused the surrounding ligaments to enlarge and thus stretch.
Doctors note that the most dangerous consequence of this condition is splenic infarction, which leads to death.
The “deviated spleen” is a disease caused by the excessive expansion of the spleen, or the lack of growth of the ligaments that fix it in the natural place designated for it, which leads to its curvature or infarction and even its rupture.
