title: Prenatal diagnosis of left isomerism with normal heart: a case report.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Left isomerism, also called polysplenia, is a laterality disturbance associated with with paired leftsidedness viscera and multiple small spleens. Left isomerism, heart congenital abnormalities and gastrointestinal malformation are strongly associated.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a case of prenatal diagnosis of left isomerism in a fetus with a structurally normal heart.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Left isomerism syndrone may coesist with a structurally normal heart. If prenatal left isomerism is suspected, even in presence of a normal heart, is mandatory to esclude sign of gastrointestinal abnormalities, as late poly hy dramnios, and cardiac rhytm disturbance during the pregnancy and neonatal age.
