Frontal view of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen. Wandering spleen (arrow) presented as a well-defined semilunar-shaped structure in the left lumbar region with the descending colon lateral and the left kidney posterior in the lower abdomen. It is seen anterolateral to the small bowel and just beneath the anterior abdominal wall muscle.

The picture was indicative of an infarcted WS (Figure 1).
Technetium scan at 5 days old showed absent/non-visualized, non-functional spleen.

A technetium scan at 5 days of life showed an absent/non-visualized, non-functional spleen (Figure 2).
Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT-CT) images of the abdomen at 2 years of age showed two oval foci in the left upper abdomen (arrows) indicating splenunculi/splenules in the splenic bed.

Static and single-photon emission CT (SPECT-CT) imaging demonstrated two small oval foci of uptake posteriorly in the left hypochondrium, indicative of splenunculi/splenules (Figure 3).
Follow-up technetium scan at 2 years of age showed absent/non-visualized, non-functional spleen.
