Fig. 2

Preoperative contrast CT result of case 6, showing accessory splenic torsion with infarction (AS = accessory spleen, MS = main spleen). Rim sign (enhancement of the capsule with non-enhancement of the parenchyma) of the accessory spleen was obvious, indicating infarction in A (cross sectional view), B (sagittal view) and C (coronary view). The main spleen was at normal location with normal perfusion in B and C. The accessory splenic artery originated from the main splenic artery and was interrupted soon after branching in D (black arrow)
