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.
