title: Isomerism of the left atrial appendages associated with absence of the spleen.
abstract: We describe a case with the unexpected association of isomerism of the left atrial appendage and absence of the spleen. The left-sided atrial appendage appeared markedly hypoplasic, probably due to the associated atresia of the mitral valve.
