Situs inversus abdominalis, polysplenia, complex jejunal atresia and malrotation in a neonate: A rare association.
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports 2019 Februrary 21
INTRODUCTION: Situs inversus, polysplenia, complex jejuna atresia are rare anomalies in isolation. Their association in a single patient is even rarer with challenges in diagnosis and management.
PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 5 day old neonate presented with features of small bowel obstruction. Radiological investigations revealed situs inversus abdominalis with dilated proximal small bowel loops. At laparotomy, abdominal situs inversus, polysplenia, multiple jejunal atresias with apple peel appearance of the ileum with malrotation was seen.
CONCLUSIONS: The association of situs inversus, polysplenia and complex jejunal atresia is very rare. Pre-operative diagnosis of situs inversus is important for appropriate incision placement and surgical planning.
