Fig. 14B. 26-year-old woman with malrotation and complex congenital
heart disease associated with polysplenia syndrome. Axial contrast-enhanced CT
scans show findings of polysplenia, including left inferior vena cava with
hemiazygos continuation (V, A) and short pancreas (P, A). One
spleen is seen in A (S), but multiple additional spleens were present
on more cephalad images (not shown). Note that feeding tube extending into
proximal small bowel (arrowheads) never crosses midline, consistent
with malrotation. Superior mesenteric arterysuperior mesenteric vein
relationship is normal in this patient. Ascites is due to congestive heart
failure.
