A member asked:
What is poly splenic? are you born with this or does it develop in time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Laterality sequence: The word means many spleens, and arises from an error in fetal development before the 30th day. Normally we have one spleen and the stomach and heart tip located on the left side, with polysplenia there is often a right sided stomach and and heart tip.The veins that bring blood to the heart can be in unusual position.
