Abstract
- Splenic duplication, also known as polysplenia syndrome, is a condition occasionally observed in which the spleen is divided into segments of similar size. However, gastric fundic varices arising from a duplicated spleen are exceedingly rare, and this medical anomaly has been infrequently reported in the literature. This case report presents a 40-year-old male with a rare instance of gastric fundic varices secondary to splenic duplication. Comprehensive imaging studies, including endoscopy, CT, Doppler US, and radioisotope splenic scans, were performed to confirm the diagnosis. This case contributes to valuable information in the medical literature, shedding light on a seldom-discussed condition.
