Description
Summary:Key Clinical Message A 26‐year‐old male patient admitted to the hospital ward with experience of repetitive syncopes for a year. The patient was diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome. The aim of this clinical report is to highlight the variability of anatomical findings associated with polysplenia pattern. Abstract This case report presents a 26‐year‐old male patient who presented to the medical ward with a complaint of repeating blackouts for a year. The patient was then diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome, and further investigations revealed left isomerism, polysplenia, and no congenital heart defects. Holter monitoring, ultrasonography, electrocardiography, and computed tomography were used to confirm the diagnosis. The patient underwent DDDR pacemaker implantation for the treatment of SA node dysfunction. The report highlights the variability of anatomical findings associated with polysplenia pattern and the various types of heartbeat disruptions that may occur in the atrial appendages of the left side isomerism.
