Biliary atresia and the polysplenia syndrome

Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 1991
There is a widely held but unsubstantiated belief that in infants with biliary atresia and coexisting polysplenia syndrome, the Kasai operation fails. An equally poor prognosis has been forecast for patients with this complex treated by liver transplantation.

Polysplenia: A review of 146 cases

Pediatric Cardiology, 1983
The types of cardiac and visceral anomalies of 146 autopsied cases of polysplenia are described. One hundred and five of these cases were from the literature and the other 41 cases were specimens we personally reviewed. The anomalies found support the previous description of this condition as bilateral leftsidedness.

Scintigraphic Diagnosis of Polysplenia in the Adult

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1999
The authors describe an adult patient with low index of suspicion for polysplenia. The diagnostic contribution of various investigative modalities is considered, and the key role of scintigraphy is specifically highlighted.CT scan findings revealed multiple abdominal and retroperitoneal masses. Needle biopsy of a flank mass was nonspecific.

Asplenia and Polysplenia

Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, 1991
Abdominal sonograms on seven patients with asplenia syndrome and six patients with polysplenia syndrome were retrospectively reviewed. All seven patients with asplenia had a horizontal symmetric configuration of the liver, and three patients had the cardiac apex opposite the stomach.

Short Pancreas in Polysplenia Syndrome

Acta Radiologica, 1991
Two cases with the polysplenia syndrome also had a short pancreas. To the best of our knowledge the radiologic characteristics of this anatomic anomaly have not yet been reported. Both cases were asymptomatic with regard to their anomaly-complex. The radiologic findings of the short “pancreas” are similar to the only pathologic description of this ...

[Polysplenia. Description of a case].

Giornale italiano di cardiologia, 1977
A clinical and hemodynamic study of a case of polysplenia, with typical left bilateral symmetry, anomalies of systemic venous drainage and defect of the endocardial cushions.

Polysplenia with pulmonary arteriovenous malformations

Pediatric Cardiology, 1993
A patient with polysplenia syndrome, dextrocardia, left atrial isomerism, normal great vessel relationships, and no intracardiac shunts developed progressive cyanosis and clubbing. Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) were diagnosed by angiography and confirmed by lung biopsy.

Hodgkin's disease in a patient with polysplenia

The British Journal of Radiology, 1987
Polysplenia is a complex congenital syndrome. It forms one part of the spectrum of viscero-atrial situs abnormalities, along with asplenia (Ivemark's syndrome) and situs inversus. Lymphoma has been reported in cases of “ectopic” or “wandering” spleen, but not, to our knowledge, in polysplenia.

TORSION OF THE SPLEEN IN THE POLYSPLENIA SYNDROME

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1984
A case of splenic torsion is presented in an adult with the polysplenia syndrome. The factors predisposing to splenic torsion are discussed. Splenic torsion may mimic acute appendicitis. The recommended treatment is splenectomy. The polysplenia syndrome may often be undiagnosed when cardiac defects are mild or absent.

Interest of Laparoscopy in Polysplenia Syndrome

European Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2003
Polysplenia syndrome (PS) is usually discovered in symptomatic patients in association with congenital heart disease or biliary atresia. Asymptomatic patients can present associated anomalies of the digestive tract such as intestinal malrotation and gastric or splenic malfixation.
