Abstract
Heterotaxy syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease with a disarrangement of the heart and abdominal organs. We present a young African female with features of heart failure, diffuse irregular cardiac murmurs, and palpable, tender epigastric mass. A chest and abdominal computed tomography (CT) identified heterotaxy syndrome with left isomerism and fused adrenal glands. This case highlights the feature of fused adrenal glands in a patient with polysplenia.
