A 41-year-old male with situs inversus totalis had paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. On electrophysiology study, the mechanism of the tachycardia was determined as slow/fast atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia and slow pathway was successfully performed under fluoroscopic guidance.

BACKGROUND Situs inversus is a rare congenital condition that is currently classified into two types: complete situs inversus (situs inversus totalis, SIT) and partial situs inversus (situs inversus partialis, SIP). In SIP patients, some organs are inverted and others are in their expected position, and individual patient variation in organ position increases surgical difficulty. Several surgeo...

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder associated with ciliary defects and situs inversus totalis, the complete mirror image reversal of internal organ situs (positioning). A variable incidence of heterotaxy, or irregular organ situs, also has been reported in PCD patients, but it is not known whether this is elicited by the PCD-causing genetic lesion. We studi...

Background: Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the mirror-image transposition of organs. To date, approximately 100 cases laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) have been reported in patients with situs inversus. Although surgery was successfully completed all these cases, operation known to be technically challenging Herein, we report case cholelithiasis SIT ...

UNLABELLED The myocardial perfusion scintigraphy acquisition and analysis present some technical differences in the rare dextrocardia cases. Here we report a case of a 38 year-old woman with dextrocardia who had been applied myocardial perfusion scintigraphy. Presented case showed that the thoracic and abdominal organs had a mirror image with situs inversus totalis type dextrocardia. The incide...

BACKGROUND Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is an uncommon anomaly of the aorta. It occurs most frequently in the right sinus of Valsalva. Complications depend on its size and location. Situs inversus totalis is a rare condition wherein organs are reversed from their normal positions (mirror image). CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a 69-year-old man who presented situs inversus totalis known...

We report a rare case of incomplete congenital duodenal obstruction (Type 1 duodenal atresia) in association with situs inversus totalis presenting with gastric perforation in a neonate. The infantogram was suggestive of perforation with air under diaphragm along with dextrocardia. On exploration, a pin point perforation at fundus near lesser curvature along with situs inversus was noted. Prima...

Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital disorder occurring in 1:5,000 to 1:20,000 of the births. It may be partial, where the transposition is confined to either the abdominal or the thoracic viscera, or complete, i.e. involving both cavities. Change in anatomical position of organs gives rise to abnormal location of signs and symptoms, thus posing a difficulty in diagnosing the ailment, an...

INTRODUCTION Situs inversus with dextrocardia is the complete inversion of position of the thoracic and abdominal viscera. It may be isolated or associated with malformations, especially cardiac and/or alimentary. It may be discovered in infancy because of associated anomalies but often remains asymptomatic and discovered incidentally in adult life. Only a small number of cases have been report...
