ARAI, H., HARADA, K., TAMURA, M., OKAMURA, T. and TAKADA, G. Polysplenia Syndrome with Common Atrioventricular Canal and Persistent Truncus Arteriosus. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 1995, 177 (2), 171-177 - A case of an infant with a rare combination of polysplenia syndrome with common atrioventricular canal and persistent truncus arteriosus is presented. In our present case, severe common atrioventricular valve regurgitation was identified, as in previous cases. To our knowledge, echocardiographic and autopsy findings of this association has not been previously reported. The persistent truncus arteriosus is extremely rare in the setting of the polysplenia syndrome, but the present case report demonstrates that these anomalies may, at times, occur. - polysplenia; persistenttruncus arteriosus; common atrioventricular canal
