A 18 month-old boy with asplenic syndrome was admitted to our hospital with a twelve hours history of mucous vomiting, abdominal pain and a round epigastric mass. It was diagnosed as having a gastric volvulus and an emergency laparotomy was performed. The stomach was situated at the right side and a mesenterioaxial volvulus was found, with cyanosis of the antrum. The gastrophrenic and gastrosplenic ligaments were absent. The clinical and radiological characteristics of asplenic syndrome are reviewed. The pediatric surgeons must be aware of the digestive malformations of the asplenic syndrome, because some of that like malfixation of the stomach could be the cause of an acute abdomen.
