Abstract
- Splenoptosis is a rare condition in children. Its association with a cyst is rare. A case of splenoptosis complicated by a large cyst is reported. The child presented with features of intermittent abdominal pain, constipation and clinical examination revealed a mass apparently rising out of the pelvis. Ultrasound confirmed the mass as spleen with a 15 cm cyst in the lower pole. At surgery the cyst was marsupialised and splenopexy undertaken placing the cyst in a retro-peritoneal pouch. This is only the second report of such a case in the English literature.
