Fig. 1

Comparison of two preoperative contrast CT results with 6 days interval in case 5, showing the spleen moving from left hypochondrium to the pelvis. A&B: The splenic enhancement was reduced in A and was partially enhanced in B. (S = spleen, P = pancreas, white arrow shows “Whirl sign” with enhanced splenic artery in the center and pancreatic tail involved.). C&D: Coronary views show normal location of gastric fundus in C (G = gastric fundus), splenic vein interruption in D (white arrow, indicating thrombosis) and engorged left gastric vein in D (black arrow). E&F: Artery reconstruction views show a splenic artery (white arrow) circling (indicating torsion) in E and running downward in F, and route change of gastro-epiploic artery (white triangle, indicating gastric volvulus)
