Situs inversus totalis is is a congenital anomaly associated with various visceral abnormalities, but there is no data about the relationship between secondary biliary cirrhosis and that condition. We here present a case of a 58 year-old female with situs inversus totalis who was admitted to our clinic with extrahepatic cholestasis. After excluding all potential causes of biliary cirrhosis, sec...

A 37-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with 12 hours of gradually worsening left lower quadrant pain with anorexia, vomiting, and diarrhea. She also reported intermittent fever and chills. On exam, her initial vital signs were 102/68, pulse of 102, respirations 18, temperature of 97.5° F. She was mildly anxious secondary to pain. Abdominal exam revealed a soft abdomen with le...

Kartagener syndrome is an autosomal recessive genetic ciliary disorder comprising of a classic triad of sinusitis, situs inversus and bronchiectasis. It's the one of primary ciliary dyskinesia disorders with manifestations present from childhood. Most patients of PCD have situs inversus. We present a case of 18 year-old women with recurrent lower and upper respiratory tracts infections, and rhi...

The operation of D-transposition of the great arteries is performed extremely rarely in patients with mirror image dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis. Therefore, it is not surprising that such unusual anatomy case presents problems with primary operation. We present a case of late right pulmonary artery stenosis after neonatal surgical anatomic correction of mirror image dextrocardia and s...

Giant encephalocele is an uncommon congenital anomaly with very few published reports available in the English literature. Tetralogy of Fallot associated with situs inversus is also infrequently reported. To our knowledge there are no published reports of an association between giant encephalocele and Tetralogy of Fallot. The additional finding of situs inversus results in a rare pathologic tri...

We present the first case treated by hepatic segmentectomy in a 69-year-old woman with primary liver cancer and situs inversus totalis. The situs inversus did not cause any technical problems during the operation, which was conducted under guidance of intraoperative ultrasonography.

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...

KNOWLEDGE of the position of the abdominal organs is important in cardiac diagnosis. Thus a mirror-image dextrocardia is usually observed in a patient with complete situs inversus; this condition more frequently occurs in an otherwise normal individual than in one with a malformed heart. By contrast, when dextrocardia occurs without situs inversus, malformation of the heart is the rule. When th...

Acute cholecystitis is a common surgical problem; however, the diagnosis may be difficult when the patient has situs inversus, or mirror-image reversal of the organs. This case report discusses the clinical presentation, diagnosis, radiographic images, and surgical management of cholecystitis in the face of situs inversus totalis.

Situs inversus is a rare congenital anomaly referring to the mirror image of abdominal and thoracic viscera. It can be discovered routinely or on occasion complication related not situs inversus. We report case incidentally during surgery for acute intestinal obstruction caused by an iatrogenic uterine perforation.
