A short pancreas was present in all twelve patients. Midgut malrotation was present in eight patients. Situs inversus totalis was present in two patients. Nine patients presented the absence of hepatic segmental inferior vena cava (IVC), with the hepatic vein directly converging into the right atrium and the continuation of the azygos vein. The preduodenal portal vein was present in six patients. Left lung heterotaxy was found in nine patients. The inferior vena cava was bilateral in one patient. Aberrant right subclavian arteries, bilateral common carotid arteries sharing trunks, abnormal renal vein branching and routing, and abdominal portal vein branching were also found in individual patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PS is a complex malformation syndrome involving multiple systems.
