Beyond The Norm: Investigating Situs Inversus Totalis
Abstract
All internal organs are displaced from their natural anatomical positions in a condition known as Situs Inversus Totalis. In various species of animals, this uncommon congenital disease has been documented. Although the cause is unknown, it may be related to several cardiopulmonary problems. Patients who are diagnosed with this ailment need to be advised, reassured that they may live a normal life, and encouraged to be prepared to disclose any anatomical abnormality to medical professionals as needed. During the preoperative work-up for surgery, clinicians must be vigilant about this condition. The purpose of this study is to present our results and contribute to the gathering of information on these uncommon illnesses.
