Incidental adult polysplenia with situs inversus interrupted inferior vena cava with azygos continuation patent ductus arteriosus and aortic branches variations: a case report

摘要

Polysplenia syndrome is a rare condition (about 2.5:100,000 live births) wherein a person has two or more spleens with accompanying various thoracic and abdominal organ abnormalities. Polysplenia is usually associated with situs ambiguous, while polysplenia with situs inversus is very rare. Herein, we report a rare case of incidentally found polysplenia syndrome combined with situs inversus in a 59-year-old female who also had an interrupted inferior vena cava (IVC) with azygos continuation, patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and variations in the aortic arch branches. An aberrant left subclavian artery with Kommerell’s diverticulum and a large aneurysm in the non-aberrant, proximal-right subclavian artery were also noted.
