Situs Inversus Totalis
Situs inversus totalis is a rare condition in which the major organs of the chest and abdomen are arranged as a mirror image of the usual pattern. The heart, stomach, liver and other organs sit on the opposite side of the body. Most people have no symptoms and normal organ function, so it is often found by chance. Care focuses on managing any related conditions, such as ciliary disorders or heart defects.
