Discordance between abdominal and atrial arrangement in a case of complex congenital heart disease.
The report describes a rare case of a complex congenital heart disease wherein the splenic status and the relationship of the suprarenal abdominal great vessels strongly suggested right isomerism, but atrial morphology demonstrated usual atrial arrangement. It emphasises the increasing recognition that the arrangement of the abdominal organs need not accurately reflect atrial arrangement.
