Polysplenia syndrome with a rare variation between the common hepatic artery and the superior mesenteric artery in adults

Heterotaxy syndrome with accompanying azygos continuation of the inferior vena cava, patent ductus arteriosus and replaced common hepatic artery

“…Polysplenia syndrome with a variation of HA and the SMA is often diagnosed incidentally in patients by CT [14]. A limited number of articles were published in the literature, in which the HA originates from the SMA with heterotaxy syndrome, as in our case [3,[14][15][16]. In addition, the SMV was located on the left side of SMA, which is a suspicious finding in terms of intestinal malrotation.…”

“…In our case, while the stomach was located in the normal position, a short pancreas and PDPV were identified. Polysplenia syndrome with a variation of HA and the SMA is often diagnosed incidentally in patients by CT [14]. A limited number of articles were published in the literature, in which the HA originates from the SMA with heterotaxy syndrome, as in our case [3,[14][15][16].…”

“…In adult patients, heterotaxy syndrome is usually detected incidentally during radiologic examination or vascular interventions. It is important for surgeons or radiologists to detect and know these anomalies and anatomical characteristics before conducting surgical and interventional procedures [2,14]. Thus, possible complications such as hemorrhage, vascular ligation, and organ injury may be prevented.…”
