Situs inversus abdominis is a rare congenital condition commonly associated with serious cardiac and splenic malformations. The importance of recognizing the presence of situs inversus abdominis preoperatively is emphasized by the fact that the surgical incision is placed on the incorrect side of the abdomen. A 6 day-old girl was referred to our hospital because of bile stained vomiting. A plain radiography of abdomen and chest showed the heart to be normal position and a reversed "double-bubble" picture with no other gas shadow in the rest of the abdomen. Abdominal computed tomography scan revealed situs inversus with the stomach and polysplenia on the right side and the liver on the left side. A laparotomy confirmed the diagnosis of situs inversus with duodenal atresia. The obstruction was bypassed by constructing a side-to-side duodenoduodenostomy. The postoperative course was uneventful.

목 적 : 저자들은 이차적인 병변으로 인한 우심증이 아닌 환아들에서 그들의 임상양상, 동반 심장 또는 심장외 기형과 예후를 분석하고자 하였다. 방 법: 1996년 1월에서 2001년 7월까지 계명대학교 동산의료원 소아과에서 흉부 방사선 소견상 심장이 우측 흉곽에 위치하였던 환아 중 폐나 흉곽 병변에 의한 우전위를 제외한 24례를 대상으로 하였다. 모든 환아들에게 심에코 검사와 복부 초음파 검사를 시행하였고 필요에 따라 심장 조영술, 염색체 검사를 시행하였으며 이들의 진단 당시의 연령과 임상 증상, 이학적 소견, 동반하는 심기형 뿐 아니라 심장외 기형, 치료 후 예후를 조사하였다. 결 과: 총 24례 중 남아가 17례(79.8%)이었으며, visceroatrial situs로 보았을 때 situs solitus가 7례, situs inversus가 10례, situs ambiguous가 7례이었다. 우심증을 처음 발견한 시기는 생후 7일 이내가 21명(87.5%)으로 대부분을 차지하였다. 진단 당시의 증상으로는 청색증과 심잡음이 각각 11례(45.8%)로 가장 많았고 11례(45.8%)는 증상 없이 우연히 발견되었다. Situs solitus와 inversus의 경우는 우연히 발견된 경우가 증상을 보여 진단된 경우보다 많았으나 situs ambiguous의 경우는 청색증(71.4%) 등의 증상으로 발견된 경우가 많았다. 19례(79.2%)에서 심기형을 동반하고 있었으며 situs solitus와 ambiguous는 전례에서 심기형을 동반하였고 situs inversus는 50%에 서 심기형을 동반하였으며 동반된 심기형 중 폐동맥 협착이나 폐동맥 폐쇄가 12례로 가장 많았다. 심장외 다른 기형이 동반된 경우는 7례(29.2%)로 원선, 비후성 유문 협착증, 요도 하열, 수신증, 다지증, 만곡지 등이었으며 염색체 검사를 시행한 4례는 모두 정상이었다. 총 24례 중 11(45.8%)례는 심기형이나 동반된 다른 선천성 기형으로 사망하였으며, 특히 situs solitus와 ambiguous에서 사망률이 높았다. 결 론 : 우심증의 첫 진단 시기는 1주 이내가 많았고, 이들 중 증상 없이 우연히 발견된 경우도 약 반수로 많았으며, situs solitus와 ambiguous는 동반된 심장기형이 100%로 situs inversus의 50%보다 많았으며 예후 또한 불량하였다.

Siewert-Kartagener's syndrome, a type of primary ciliary dyskinesia, is a complex disease comprising situs inversus, rhinosinusitis, and bronchiectasis. Situs inversus totalis is a condition in which all organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities are reversed. Furthermore, primary ciliary dyskinesia, an autosomal genetic disease, may coexist with situs inversus totalis. Reports on Siewert-Kartagener's syndrome in veterinary medicine are limited. We report a rare case of primary ciliary dyskinesia with Siewert-Kartagener's syndrome in a dog, concurrently infected with canine distemper virus and type-2 adenovirus. This case highlights that situs inversus totalis can cause primary ciliary dyskinesia, and concurrent infections are possible.

We recently experienced a case of bronchogenic cyst associated with situs inversus and partial pericardial defect. The patient was 26-day-old-male who showed severe respiratory difficulty. Left upper lobectomy and direct suture of partial pericardial defect were undergone successfully, but his postoperative course was unfortunate because of respiratory insufficiency.

We describe the occurrence of acute type A aortic dissection in a patient with situs inversus totalis. A 37-year-old man presented to the emergency department with acute chest pain. Initial chest X-ray findings showed a right-sided heart and a left-sided liver. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a Stanford type A acute aortic dissection, aortic root dilatation, and situs inversus totalis. All of the thoracic structures were mirror-image reversed and an abnormal coronary artery was observed. The Bentall operation was performed. This report demonstrates that computed tomography and echocardiography were useful for understanding the anatomy and the presence or absence of concurrent anomalies in a patient with situs inversus totalis. The patient's postoperative course was uneventful.

Situs inversus is a rare hereditary disorder in which various anomalies have been reported with internal rotation abnormalities. This case involved an 85-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with transverse colon cancer and who underwent reduced-port laparoscopic surgery. All intra-abdominal organs were reversed left to right and right to left. The aberrant midcolic artery was identified during surgery. The total surgery time was 170 minutes, and the patient lost 20 mL of blood. The patient was discharged on the 8th postoperative day without complications.

An 11-year-old intact male mixed-breed dog was referred for evaluation of a splenic mass. On radiographs, the cardiac apex, stomach, and head of the spleen were on the right and the descending colon was on the left of the midline. In addition, the left kidney was located more cranially than the right kidney. Standard two-dimensional echocardiographic images were obtained from each inverted left and right parasternal windows. Furthermore, the spleen was observed on the right side and a splenic mass was found on the splenic tail. Based on the radiographic and ultrasonographic characteristics of the patient, a diagnosis of situs inversus totalis (SIT) and a splenic mass was made, and splenic resection was performed successfully with no unexpected complications. The splenic mass was confirmed histopathologically as being marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). This report describes a dog with SIT and splenic MZL.

Studies describing the vascular systems and their variations in Situs inversus totalis (SIT) from a whole-body computed tomographic (CT) angiography perspective are lacking. We report a case of SIT in which postmortem CT angiography (PMCTA) was performed as a part of the forensic death investigation and incidentally detected several vascular variations in it. The PMCTA procedure was performed using the multiphase PMCTA protocol. Almost all major vessels were visualized, indeed in a completely reversed pattern. Contrast mixture flow interruptions were noted in the right coronary arterial branches suggesting possible blockage, upon which autopsy revealed >90% vessel occlusions at several locations. As such the cause of death was due to ischemic heart disease. Anomalous origins of the right internal mammary artery; abnormal left thyrocervical trunk and variations in the drainage of testicular veins were noted. Our findings might be helpful to clinicians and add to the body of literature on SIT.

We have recently operated 6 year-old male patient who had double outlet right ventricle with dextrocardia, situs inversus, pulmonary stenosis and 2 ventricular septal defects. Rastelli operation was performed by internal baffling with Cooley woven Dacron and tunnel grafting with Hancock valved conduit between the right ventricle and the main pulmonary artery.His postoperative course was uneventful. He was discharged in good conditions on P.O.D. #33.

Two cases of situs inversus totalis with isolated congenital heart disease were treated at department of cardiothoracic surgery, Chungnam National University Hospital. Sixteen months old girl was operated under diagnosis of PDA with mirro-image dextrocardia by triple ligation. Fifteen months old girl was managed under diagnosis of VSD with mirro-image dextrocardia by simple closure of VSD with extracorporeal circulation. The former had smooth postoperative course, but the latter was died of asphyxia due to vomitus on postoperative second day
