Table 1 Methodological approach for determination of type of isomerism

From: Heterotaxy syndrome with mixed bronchopulmonary malinosculation: an unusual case report

Step 1: Look at the bronchial situs

 

 Bilateral Eparterial bronchi

 

 Bilateral hyparterial bronchi

 

Step 2: Look at the bi-atrial morphology (on the basis of appendage which is broad in right atrium and narrow/tubular in left atrium)

 

Step 3: Look at the splenic status

 

 Asplenia

 

 Polysplenia

 
  1. Bilateral eparterial bronchi with bilateral right atria and asplenia—Right isomerism
  2. Bilatral hyparterial bronchi with bilateral left atria and polysplenia—Left isomerism
