Right isomerism, also known as Ivemark syndrome, is an unusual degree of symmetry of some of the abdominothoracic viscera reflecting bilateral right-sidedness. We report an exceedingly rare occurrence of anomalous drainage of the left hepatic vein to the left-sided atrium in a patient of right isomerism. With this case report, we further endorse that the isomerism of atrium might extend beyond the appendages, a view that has been long dismissed by the existing literature.
右位异构,也称为艾弗马克综合征,是一种腹部和胸部某些内脏器官出现异常程度的对称现象,表现为双侧均为右侧结构。我们报告了一例极为罕见的右位异构患者,其左肝静脉异常引流至左侧心房。通过本病例报告,我们进一步支持心房异构可能超出心耳范围的观点,而这一观点长期以来一直被现有文献所忽视。
