We report the case of a 12-year-old female was admitted with acute abdominal pain that began 5 days earlier. In the face of the acute pain, a laparotomy was necessary. At laparotomy, the patient was found to have twisted and infarction of an accessory spleen with a long pedicle ending near the splenic hilum.
