Although the majority of patients with polysplenia syndrome will present during infancy or childhood with congenital heart disease, 5% to 10% will have no cardiac disease; and the associated abnormalities may not be discovered until adulthood. Physicians should be familiar with the chest and abdominal radiographic findings so as not to confuse this syndrome with other, more common pathologic conditions in asymptomatic adult patients.
虽然多数多脾综合征患者在婴儿期或儿童期会因先天性心脏病就诊，但5%至10%的患者并无心脏疾病；相关异常可能直到成年期才被发现。医生应熟悉胸部和腹部的影像学表现，以免将此综合征与无症状成年患者中其他更常见的病理状况相混淆。
