Wandering liver syndrome is an extremely rare congenital disorder. It is mainly diagnosed within the first years of life. Herein we report the case of a 40-year-old woman with hepatoptosis due to the absence of anatomical peritoneal attachments of the liver. Surgical treatment consisted in inserting the floppy right lobe of the liver in a subphrenic retroperitoneal pouch. This original technique provided excellent postoperative result.

Article Synopsis
- - Glyoxylate, a toxic byproduct of metabolism, is rapidly converted into oxalate, necessitating effective detoxification systems in various cell compartments, with key enzymes AGT and GRHPR involved in this process.
- - Mutations in genes encoding AGT and GRHPR lead to primary hyperoxaluria types 1 and 2, respectively, while a defect in the HOGA1 enzyme is associated with type 3, all resulting in serious kidney issues such as nephrocalcinosis and potential kidney failure.
- - Recent advancements in therapies, particularly RNAi-based treatments (lumasiran and nedosiran), are improving outcomes for primary hyperoxaluria, with nedosiran targeting all

Wandering liver (WL) is an exceptionally rare anatomical variant, scarcely described in the medical literature. This condition is characterized by hypermobility of the liver within the abdominal cavity, resulting from the weakening, laxity, or absence of the liver's suspensory ligaments. This case report describes a 28-year-old male patient with a history of Sashi-Pena syndrome who presented with chronic, nonspecific abdominal pain, in which cross-sectional imaging incidentally revealed WL.

A spectrum of heterotopic and ectopic splenic conditions may be encountered in clinical practice as incidental asymptomatic detection or symptomatic diagnosis. The radiologist needs to be aware of these conditions and their imaging characteristics to provide a prompt correct diagnosis and avoid misdiagnosis as neoplasm or lymphadenopathy. Having a strong knowledge base of the embryologic development of the spleen improves understanding of the pathophysiologic basis of these conditions.

Background: The Fontan circulation procedure is the palliative surgery of choice for patients with single ventricle physiology, many of whom are now reaching childbearing age due to advances in care. Our study examines the impact of pregnancy on women with Fontan circulation, assessing both short and long-term outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively analysed pregnancies in women with Fontan circulation at our centre from 2005 to 2023, including a matched non-pregnant, nulliparous cohort for comparison.
