Kaoutar I, Messaoud O, Jerguigue H, Latib R, Omor Y. Heterotaxy syndrome: A rare case report. Int J Case Rep Images 2021;12:101260Z01KI2021.ABSTRACT
Heterotaxy syndrome is a spectrum of abnormalities that should be differentiated from situs inversus. Multiple spleens are the most common malformation seen in this syndrome. Intestinal rotation abnormalities should always be looked for, because of the risk of midgut volvulus that can be prevented by a correction procedure. We report the case of a 43-year-old patient with heterotaxy syndrome.
Keywords: Heterotaxy, Imaging, Malformation, Polysplenia
