Situs Inversus: Mirror Image of Viscera

Situs Inversus refers to the transposition of thoracic and abdominal viscera. In comparison, the normal position of the viscera is referred to as situs solitus. Situs Inversus is associated with: - Dextrocardia: The incidence of dextrocardia is 3-5%. The most common association is a transposition of great vessels - Kartagener Syndrome: It is a primary ciliary dyskinesia disorder. Approximately 20% of individuals with situs inversus can have Kartagener syndrome. Situs inversus totalis can be appreciated on the chest radiography by: - The position of the gastric bubble - Location of liver - Position of the heart apex - Position of the aortic arch Reference: https://radiopaedia.org/articles/situs-inversus
