EP09.63: Fetal midline fused adrenal gland associated with right isomerism
We share very rear condition which have demonstrated during fetal period in fetus with right isomerizm which called midline fused adrenal gland. Right isomerism, also known as right atrial isomerism or asplenia syndrome, is a rare congenital condition in which the organs on the right side of the body are duplicated or mirror the organs on the left side of the body. This condition can affect various organs in the body, including the heart, spleen, liver, and gastrointestinal tract. Fetal fused midline adrenal gland with right isomerism is a rare combination of conditions that occurs when the adrenal gland is fused in the midline and the baby also has right isomerism. The exact cause of this condition is not fully understood, but it may be related to genetic or environmental factors. In our case fetus with right isomerism, we demonstrated midline fused adrenal gland between the aorta and juxtaposed inferior vena cava. This is a very rare condition. Midline fused adrenal gland is associated with several congenital anomalies, such as asplenia (52%), neural tube defects (37%), renal abnormalities (29%), and diaphragmatic defects (1%).
