Abstract

Splenic anomalies are commonly associated with anomalies of cardiovascular system and of other organ systems.
"Polysplenia" refers to the state in which the bulk of splenic tissue is divided into two and others more equal-sized splenic masses.
We experienced a case of Polysplenia associated with complicated cardiovascular anomalies(Situs ambiguus, D-loop, normally related great arteries, interrupted inferior vena cave, bilateral superior vena cava, single atrium, common A-V canal, infundibular stenosis).
We have presented this rare case and reviewed brief literatures.
