| Title | A Man With a Horseshoe Adrenal Gland Associated With a Midline Posterior Diaphragmatic Defect. | | Author(s) | Feldmann EJ, Berko NS, Jain VR, Haramati LB | | Institution | From the *Department of Radiology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx; and daggerDepartment of Radiology, Stony Brook University Medical Center, Stony Brook, NY. | | Source | J Comput Assist Tomogr 2009 September/October; 33(5):717-720. | | Abstract | 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. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
