BACKGROUND Heterotaxy is a syndrome of abnormal arrangement of the internal thoracic-abdominal structures across the left-right axis of the body. It is a primary disorder with 2 main settings - bilateral left sidedness (polysplenia syndrome) or right sidedness (asplenia syndrome) - although some overlapping or uncertainties may occur. Patients with right heterotaxy typically present with asplenia, complex heart disease, and other thoracoabdominal organ situs abnormalities. CASE REPORT We present a unique case of congenital asplenia syndrome with complex heart disease, annular pancreas, and other extra-heterotaxic anomalies (e.g., musculoskeletal) in the form of a radius aplasia and partial syndactyly of the thumb and index finger of the left hand. These associated anomalies have not been reported before. CONCLUSIONS This case shows the need for paying increased attention to the implications of other extracardiac anomalies that can be associated with heterotaxy syndrome.

D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
