"There is duplication of the left or right-sided intrathoracic contents and associated abdominal anomalies. Classically, there is malposition and morphological abnormality of the liver and spleen. Vascular anomalies such as duplicated SVC are common1."
"Isomerism implies mirrored organs, and can be defined as mirrored atrial appendages, e.g. bilateral morphological right atrial appendages in right isomerism. In practice, atrial appendage morphology cannot always be determined. Many patients with abnormal situs do not have mirror-image morphology and this is referred to as situs ambiguus. Congenital heart disease and splenic anomalies are frequently associated giving rise to the term cardiosplenic syndrome. There are many individual variations, and each case should be individually documented."

"Assessment of the intrathoracic contents can be made with plain film, echocardiography, CT, and MRI as well as angiography. Below the diaphragm, the abdominal contents can be imaged with ultrasound, GI contrast studies, CT and MRI."
