Heterotaxy Syndrome Diagnosed in an Adult.

Department of Internal Medicine, Sultan 2. Abdul Hamid Khan Educational and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Heterotaxy syndrome, a condition in which the internal organs are abnormally arranged in the thorax or abdomen, is generally diagnosed early in life, often during the neonatal period. We present the case of a 42-year-old male who was incidentally diagnosed with polysplenia syndrome and subsequently diagnosed with heterotaxy syndrome. Upon further investigation, he was determined to have a sinus venosus type atrial septal defect.

Objective: To analytically depict the associated malformations of polysplenia syndrome (PS) in adults via computed tomography (CT).
Materials And Methods: The incidence of malformations associated with PS in twelve adult patients was retrospectively analyzed via CT imaging.
Results: The number of splenic nodules ranged from three to twelve; the splenic nodules were located in the left upper quadrant in nine patients and in the right upper quadrant in three patients.

Department of Nephrology, West China Hospital/West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: The feasibility of creating arteriovenous (AV) access in hemodialysis patients with superior vena cava occlusion (SVCO) is debated due to impaired blood return to the right atrium. However, collateral venous networks may offer an alternative solution, allowing for the creation of peripheral AV access. This study evaluates the outcomes of AV access construction in hemodialysis patients with SVCO.

This case report presents an incident of spontaneous migration of a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) into the azygos vein, leading to accidental transection during surgery. A patient with esophageal cancer had a PICC placed in the left upper arm one day prior to surgery, with the catheter tip confirmed by intracavitary electrocardiogram (IC-ECG) and anterior/lateral chest X-ray imaging. However, during the surgery, the PICC was unintentionally cut when the surgeon isolated and clamped the azygos vein.
