Polysplenia syndrome associates multiple spleens to other malformations, most frequently cardiac, vascular, visceral, and biliary malformations. Polysplenia has been described mainly in childhood owing to critical anatomic malformations related to cardiac defects or biliary atresia. We present a case of polysplenia syndrome found in a 58-year-old man. Only those with mild anatomical abnormalities reach adulthood without a diagnosis. Radiological examinations are helpful to the diagnosis by ascertaining the location and number of spleens, location of other organs in the chest and abdomen, and identification of other associated anomalies.
多脾综合征是指多个脾脏与其他畸形相关联,最常见的是心脏、血管、内脏和胆道畸形。由于与心脏缺陷或胆道闭锁相关的严重解剖畸形,多脾症主要在儿童期被描述。我们报告一例在一名58岁男性中发现的多脾综合征病例。只有那些解剖异常较轻的患者在未被诊断的情况下成年。放射学检查有助于通过确定脾脏的位置和数量、胸部和腹部其他器官的位置以及识别其他相关异常来进行诊断。
