This is a morphologic study of 41 cases of dextrocardia for the purpose of clarifying terminology and evaluating the clinical import of the morphologic data. Dextrocardias are classified as dextroversion, mirror-image dextrocardia, and mixed dextrocardia. When the atrial septum does not identifv the atria, it was found possible to make the presumptive diagnosis of dextroversion or mirror-image ...

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...

In dextrocardia, the main base-apex cardiac axis is directed to the right side of the chest. The majority of dextrocardia is associated with situs solitus and either normally related or L-transposed great vessels. Dextrocardia with situs inversus is rare and presents in different forms depending on the atrio-ventricular (AV) and ventricular-aterial (VA) relationship. We report a rare case of de...

Dextrocardia with situs solitus is a rare disorder caused by embryological malformation. It may be asymptomatic and overlooked when isolated, or it presents different symptoms clinical signs associated other cardiac extracardiac malformations. The present article describes the radiologic, electrocardiographic, echocardiographic findings of Pitbull dog isolated dextrocardia solitus.

Dextrocardia is detected in approximately 1 in 12,000 live births, and one-third of these have complete situs inversus (1). Dextrocardia has been reported to be associated with inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis or interruption in 8%–18% of cases, and the anomalies of IVC can coexist with azygos continuation in approximately 0.6% of cases (2). We report a case of catheter ablation of scar-relate...

(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. Fallot' (or 'pulmona...

Infants of diabetic mothers are significantly at higher risk for major congenital malformations, with cardiovascular anomalies that is the most frequent. In this study, we presented a rare case of dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis (mirror-image dextrocardia) with multiple congenital heart anomalies who was born from a diabetic mother.

Dextrocardia with situs inversus is a rare heart condition genetic predisposition. Although most individuals lead normal healthy life and usually, it an incidental finding. Due to their unique anatomical variations associated congenital variations, they may pose challenges attending clinicians. We are hereby reporting successful anesthetic management of the case 2.5-year-old child who presented...

Dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly of development characterized by a mirrorimage position of the heart. Unlike dextrocardia with situs solitus or ambiguus, the coincidence of congenital heart disease is relatively low among dextrocardic patients with situs inversus. However, patients with dextrocardia may suffer from coronary heart disease as do people with normally positioned hearts. Fe...

BACKGROUND To investigate the differences in cardiovascular disease, extracardiac anomalies and outcomes between fetuses with levocardia and dextrocardia. METHODS Clinical demographics, prenatal features, postnatal characteristics and the outcomes of fetuses with levocardia or dextrocardia were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS Sixty-five fetuses with dextrocardia and thirty-eight fetuses with...
