  • Title: Polysplenia complex and duodenal atresia. A case report.
    Author: Raff LJ, Schwartz ST.
    Journal: Arch Pathol Lab Med; 1983 Apr; 107(4):202-3. PubMed ID: 6687542.
    Abstract:
    The association between splenic abnormalities, congenital heart defects, and abnormalities in the location and shape of other viscera is well established in the literature. Intestinal atresia is rarely found with either the polysplenia or asplenia syndromes. We studied a case of polysplenia syndrome accompanied by duodenal atresia; we believe that duodenal atresia is a rare but predictable complication of the polysplenia complex.
