A case report of polysplenia syndrome associated with genital tract duplication anomaly.
Polysplenia syndrome is a condition that persists as a defect of lateralisation, the embryonic process by which the site of body organs is determined. The most frequent manifestations of this syndrome, in addition to polysplenia are complex cardiac malformations, situs inversus, and bilobed lungs. Laterality defects have been known to be due to autosomal recessive inheritance. We report a unique case of polysplenia syndrome in association with genital tract duplication anomaly.
