We have not, as yet, come across a case of left ventricular isomerism.
Isomerism of the atrial appendages-goodbye to asplenia and all that.
We report four cases showing this combination of findings, three having usual atrial arrangement and the remaining one showing isomerism of the left atrial appendages.
The morphological condition of ventricular isomerism, therefore, is exceedingly rare.
Over the same period, 50 patients with right isomerism were seen in our hospital and formed a contrasting group.
Fetal echocardiography establishes abnormal intracardiac relationships and reveals whether heterotaxy is present and whether there is right or left isomerism.
Patients with atrial isomerism and hypoplastic left heart syndrome were excluded from the study.
These are 'right (or left) ventricular isomerism' and 'ambiguous ventriculoarterial connections'.
