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...

BACKGROUND Situs inversus is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the complete inversion of thoracic and abdominal organs. Liver transplantation in such patients or from donors in situs inversus is technically challenging because of the reversed anatomic structures. A small number of successful liver transplantation cases concerning situs inverus in either recipients or donors have been r...

Situs inversus totalis is a rare autosomal recessive congenital anomaly. There are very few reports in the published literature of abdominal aortic aneurysm in patient with situs inversus totalis, all of whom underwent open aneurysm repair. DeBakey type III acute aortic dissection is life threatening condition with organ malperfusion. A 74-year-old male, referred our department with back pain a...

Background Dextrocardia is a malposition of the heart defined as the right-sided development of the heart. It can increase the likelihood of congenital heart defects or diseases (CHD) and the risk of related morbidities and mortalities. We aimed to determine the frequency of CHDs among Dextrocardia patients. Materials and Methods In a retrospective cross-sectional study the records of patients ...

Situs inversus is an uncommon anomaly with rare incidence. Some cases of situs inversus totalis have been described with different types of associations. Here we report a case of situs inversus with carcinoma of the gastric cardia.

Situs inversus with dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly. Azoospermia and situs inversus may be encountered in ciliary dyskinesia syndromes. We report the case of a 30-year-old male who manifested situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia and azoospermia with maturation arrest at primary spermatogenesis who presented with liver abscess. The patient responded well to treatment with i.v. metronid...

THE relation of situs inversus to twinning has attracted much attention from experimental embryologists. Thus, Spemann and Ruud (1922) produced situs inversus by division of the amphibian egg, the twin derived from the right half frequently showing situs inversus. Komai (1938) observed situs inversus in the salmon, particularly in one partner of conjoined twins and relatively frequently in the ...

INTRODUCTION Situs inversus is a rare autosomal recessive condition associated with complete transposition of abdominal+/- thoracic organs. Surgical diagnosis and surgical procedures in patients with situs inversus is tricky because of the mirror image anatomy of intra-abdominal organs. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of 2152 and 1497 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecy...
