Herein, we reported the case of a toddler with WS with splenic torsion. Moreover, after reviewing relevant studies in literature, we presented our findings on the diagnosis and treatment of toddlers with WS. Toddlers with WS are characterized by acute abdominal pain, unclear history description, examination restrictions, and high rates of life-threatening complications. High level of suspicion, careful physical examination, detailed history collection, and objective investigation are crucial in the management of toddlers with WS.
