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.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Wandering spleen in pregnancy and in puerperium is a rare condition with many different possible manifestations.
