| description | A rare case of spontaneous splenic infarction with polysplenia is presented. The diagnosis was made by confirmed by enhanced computed tomography (CT), which showed multiple spleens in the left abdomen and one of the spleen showing low attenuation areas representing infarct. Polysplenia syndrome is a rare entity associated with heterotaxy syndromes. Radiological examinations help the diagnosis by identifying infarcts in the spleen and other abnormal organs in the chest and abdomen. Teaching Point: We report a rare case of polysplenic syndrome with splenic infarction. |
