She has situs inversus, but does not die from it.

Thus, in the event of a medical problem, the knowledge that the individual has situs inversus can expedite diagnosis.

Also called situs inversus, this puzzling and intriguing condition occurs in just 0.01 percent of all people.

The collection also contains teratological specimens, including a complete situs inversus from the 18th century.

Dextrocardia situs inversus refers to the heart being a mirror image situated on the right side.

He is credited with first identifying transposition of the great vessels and situs inversus.

The incidence of congenital heart disease is 95% in situs inversus with levocardia.

However, situs inversus was first described more than a century later by Matthew Baillie.

Notable individuals with documented cases of situs inversus include:

Reversal of the arm leads or situs inversus with mirror-image dextrocardia?

Many people with situs inversus totalis are unaware of their unusual anatomy until they seek medical attention for an unrelated condition.

Treacherous technician syndrome is the most common cause of situs inversus (or dextrocardia) false-positives.

Dextrocardia and situs inversus can be accompanied by congenital heart defects or occur as part of other syndromes.

Dextrocardia situs inversus is further divided.

For all visceral organs to be mirrored, the correct term is dextrocardia situs inversus totalis.

This can also be seen in individuals with Situs Inversus, a medical condition where the visceral organs are flipped across a vertical axis.

In 1874, he published his observations on a case of Situs inversus, a particular condition in which internal organs are misplaced in the body.

Misexpression experiments show that lack of Cerberus expression on the right side can result in situs inversus and cardiovascular malformations.

Situs inversus and other related disorders can also be diagnosed through x-ray, ultrasound and CT scan.

However, the orientation of these vessels in a person with situs inversus is reversed, necessitating steps so that the blood vessels join properly.

Situs inversus is generally an autosomal recessive genetic condition, although it can be X-linked or found in identical "mirror" twins.

There is a 5 -10% prevalence of congenital heart disease in individuals with situs inversus totalis, most commonly transposition of the great vessels.

About 25% of individuals with situs inversus have an underlying condition known as primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD).

Additionally, the position of the heart chambers as well as the visceral organs such as the liver and spleen is reversed (situs inversus).

If they do, they are said to have Kartagener syndrome, characterized by the triad of situs inversus, chronic sinusitis, and bronchiectasis.
