چکیده
(also referred to as ' dextrocardia with situs inversus of the viscera ' or as ' complete heterotaxy'). This form of dextrocardia has been known to clinicians ever since 1643, when Severinus reported its occurrence for the first time. In 1930, Macera and Bordato were able to collect as many as 250 cases of this variety of dextrocardia from the literature. The 'tetralogy of.

متن کاملMyocardial Perfusion SPECT Imaging in Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus: A Case Report
Dextrocardia is a cardiac positional anomaly in which the heart is located in the right hemithorax with its base-to-apex axis directed to the right and caudad. Situs inversus is an autosomal recessive disorder that causes organs in the chest and abdomen to be positioned in a mirror image from their normal position. Dextrocardia may occur in isolation or as part of situs inversus. Similarly, sit...
