Dextrocardia, Situs Inversus Totalis and Appendicular Abscess

Dextrocardia, situs inversus totalis and appendicular abscess.

Myocardial revascularization for situs inversus totalis and dextrocardia.

Situs inversus totalis with dextrocardia is rare and presentation with coronary artery disease in the ninth decade of life is even rarer. Here we describe a case where a patient underwent coronary stenting and subsequently coronary bypass surgery for the same.

Left atrial myxoma in dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis

Method Echocardiography demonstrated a mass consistent with left atrial myxoma obstructing the mitral valve orifice. CT angiography confirmed true situs inversus with rightsided aortic arch, dextrocardia, left-sided SVC and IVC, right-sided descending thoracic aorta, left-sided liver and right-sided spleen. A 65 × 38 × 34 mm mass arising from inter-atrial septum was visualised extending into th...

Dextrocardia with situs inversus totalis: coronary artery bypass grafting.

Dextrocardia with situs inversus is a rare congenital abnormality involving a left-handed mal rotation of the visceral organs. The incidence of coronary artery disease is the same as that in the general population. Performing coronary artery bypass surgery on patients with dextrocardia poses a more challenging task. It is recommended that the right internal mammary artery be the first choice of...

Appendicular peritonitis in situs inversus totalis: a case report

INTRODUCTION Situs inversus is a congenital anomaly characterized by the transposition of the abdominal viscera. When associated with dextrocardia, it is known as situs inversus totalis. This condition is rare and can be a diagnostic problem when associated with appendicular peritonitis. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 20-year-old African man who presented to the emergency departmen...
