Purpose <p>This study aimed to review the literature with regard to the management and outcome in pregnant and postpartum females with wandering spleen.</p> Methods <p>The literature was reviewed for articles regarding the following search terms: ‘pregnancy’, ‘postpartum’, ‘torsion’ and ‘wandering spleen’.</p> Results <p>17 articles were found in medical literature from 1907 to 2022. Case reports were divided up into 2 groups: antepartum group that counts 12 articles and the postpartum group with 5 articles. The median age of these females was 28 years. All patients had symptoms across both groups: abdominal pain (n=13), vomiting (n=5), thrombocytopenia (n=4), nausea (n=3) and thrombocytosis (n=2). 16 patients underwent splenectomy and 1 pregnant woman received conservative management during pregnancy. 15 patients had no post-operative complications. 1 woman had an incomplete abortion in the 1 st trimester and 1 female a stillbirth in the 3 rd trimester.</p> Conclusion <p>Wandering spleen in pregnancy and in puerperium is a rare condition with many different possible manifestations. Up to now literature has favored laparoscopic or open splenectomy as treatment for it. From asymptomatic patients to urgent and emergent cases, the diagnosis of a wandering spleen must be included when a pregnant or postpartum woman complains about an abdominal palpable mass and recurrent abdominal pain.</p>
