Abstract

If cross-sectional imaging techniques often disclose the presence of an accessory spleen, they seldom detect a wandering accessory spleen. This latter diagnosis can be challenging but important and derives great benefit from computed tomography with curved multiplanar and three-dimensional reconstructions displaying the long vascular pedicle connecting the small mass to the splenic vessels. We call this anatomical complex the "Jokari sign", in reference to the ball-on-a-string racket game.
