Abstract
We report CT images of an asymptomatic, adult case of polysplenia syndrome associated with semiannular pancreas, intestinal malrotation, preduodenal p ortal vein, and agenesis of the upper abdominal segment of the inferior ven a cava with azygous continuation. This rare combination of abdominal abnorm alities would be mainly caused by congenital malrotation of lower abdominal organs.
