A case of microgastria in association with splenic-gonadal fusion

摘要

Microgastria is a rare congenital anomaly usually associated with asplenia. In this 21/2-year-old presenting with left hydrocele and inguinal hernia multiple accessory spleens were found in the inguinal-scrotal region compatible with splenic-gonadal fusion.99mTc-sulfur colloid scanning is helpful in microgastria searching for the presence of splenic tissue and in splenic-gonadal fusion for the location of accessory heterotopic spleens.
