Thoracic And Abdominal

The term “Situs ambiguus” describes the configuration when some, but not all thoracic and abdominal organs are abnormally positioned. It is commonly associated with polysplenia, or multiple spleens. 50-100% of situs ambiguus with polysplenia have associated cardiac malformations [1]. We present a 70 year old male who came to our hospital for complete, acute, urinary retention, and was found to have invasive prostate cancer. Incidentally, the liver was positioned on the left side, and the spleen was located on the right side. There were multiple perisplenic nodular formations with peripheral calcifications that had enhancement kinetics similar to those of the spleen, suggesting polysplenia. In low thoracic cuts, the tip of the heart was clearly on the left side. The presence of situs ambiguus with polysplenia in the absence of cardiac abnormalities makes this case a unique presentation of an already rare condition. Clinicians should regularly consider the possibilities of anatomical variation in their medical and surgical practices.

Body Pattern

The anatomical features of a pair of female conjoined twins of the cephalothoracopagus type are described: the anterior face was well formed but the posterior face was cyclopean with a single ear canal. Visceral abnormalities included two shared hearts linked by an anastomotic arterial ring. The smaller of the hearts was univentricular with atrial situs ambiguus and anomalous pulmonary venous return, and was associated with two trilobed lungs. This, and the presence of a single spleen, suggested asplenia syndrome in one twin. The brains, orientated with respect to the notochordal axes, were joined only at the frontal poles. The abnormalities described in previous reports of twins of this type are reviewed and compared. In addition to alterations in body pattern due to conjoining, endodermal developmental defects and abnormal laterality appear to have been involved in the morphogenesis of this case.
