Spleen Vagus

A wandering spleen is a developmental anomaly in which the spleen is not attached to the abdominal cavity and moves freely in it. This pathology can be associated with various diseases, such as congenital heart defects, liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, liver cancer and others.

The spleen is one of the organs of the human immune system. It is involved in the formation of antibodies that protect the body from infections. In addition, the spleen acts as a blood filter, removing damaged red blood cells and platelets.

If there is a vagus spleen, it can be displaced into various parts of the abdominal cavity, which can lead to disruption of its functions. This can cause various symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, bleeding.

To diagnose the vagus spleen, it is necessary to perform an ultrasound of the abdominal cavity. Additional tests such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging may also be ordered.

Treatment for vagus spleen depends on the cause of its occurrence. In some cases, surgery may be required to fix it in the abdominal cavity. In other cases, conservative treatment may be sufficient.

In general, vagus spleen is a serious pathology that can lead to serious complications. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor promptly if symptoms associated with this pathology appear.
