A Man With a Horseshoe Adrenal Gland Associated With a Midline Posterior Diaphragmatic Defect. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
J Comput Assist Tomogr 2009 September/October; 33(5):717-720.


We present a case of a horseshoe adrenal gland and a posterior midline diaphragmatic defect found incidentally on computed tomography in a 60-year-old man. It is, to our knowledge, the first case in an adult and represents a relatively innocuous developmental abnormality when compared with the previously described fetal and infantile adrenal fusion syndrome. This case demonstrates the importance of cross-sectional imaging and the effectiveness of computed tomography in defining the spectrum of congenital anomalies.
