A 19-day-old boy with Ivemark syndrome (splenic agenesis associated with complex cardiac malformations and visceral abnormality) underwent palliative surgery including Glenn and hemi-Fontan procedures. Five months later the child is alive and well. We believe that early palliative surgery is worthwhile in Ivemark syndrome with a single ventricle.
