Abstract
This paper presents a 57-year-old asymptomatic patient with the polysp lenia syndrome with abdominal manifestations. In addition to multiple spleens, the abdominal findings included a left inferior vena cava wit h hemiazygous continuation, a striking portal anomaly with the portal vein following an ''intraperitoneal-left transhepatic'' route to reach the porta hepatis, and a congenitally short pancreas.
