Ischemic heart disease is a common complication of thyrotoxicosis, although the exact mechanism has not been defined. In patient with dextrocardia as a part of situs inversus, coronary heart disease may occur with similar frequency and manifestation as in the general population. A case is reported of angina and thyrotoxicosis in patient with situs inversus totalis in which the angina was manifested by ST-segment elevation during graded exercise, relieved by antithyroid treatment. This unusual case establishes an association between hyperthy-roidism and ischemic heart disease.

Situs inversus totalis is a very rare anatomical abnormality, which is characterized by dextrocardia and "mirror image" distribution of abdominal organs. Dextrocardia and situs inversus have important surgical implications due to altered anatomy. The aim of this study was to describe the anatomical structures of the situs inversus with dextrocardia in Korean. Presence of situs inversus with dextrocardia was confirmed in a 72-year-old female cadaver during dissection in a gross anatomy course. It was observed by focusing on the positions of the thoracoabdominal structures. In this cadaver, clearly inverted morpholoiges existed in the structures of the thoracoabdomen except the kidneys. The left-sided kidney was located at a slightly higher level than the right-sided kidney although the liver was located on the left side. We reported herein a case of dextrocardia and situs inversus with incomplete inversion, which will provide useful information for accurate diagnosis and relevant surgical procedures.

The corrected transposition of the great arteries is an usual congenital cardiac malformation, which consisitsof transposition of great arteries and ventricular inversion, and which is caused by abnormal developement ofconotruncus and ventricular looping. High frequency of associated cardiac malformations makes it difficult to getaccurate morphologic diagnosis. A total of 18 cases of corrected transposition of the great arteries is presented,in which cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography were done at the Department of Radiology, Seoul NationalUniversity Hospital between Sep. 1976 and June 1981. The clinical, radiogrpahic ,and operative findings with theemphasis on the angiocardiographic findings were analized. The resuls are as follows; 1. Among 18 cases, 13 caseshave normal cardiac position, 2 cases have dextrocardia with situs solitus, 2 cases have dextrocardia with situsinversus and 1 case has levocardia with situs inversus. 2. Segmental sets are {S.L.L.} in 15 cases, and {I.D.D} in3 cases and there is no exception to loop rule. 3. Side by side interrelationships of both ventricles and bothsemilunar valves are noticed in 10 and 12 cases respectively. 4. Subaortic type conus is noted in all 18 cases. 5.Associated cardiac malformations are VSD in 14 cases, PS in 11, PDA in 3, PFO in 3, ASD in 2, right aortic arch in2, tricuspid insufficiency, mitral prolapse, persistent left SVC and persistent right SVC in 1 case respectively.6. For accurate diagnosis of corrected TGA, selective biventriculography using biplane cineradiography is anessential procedure.

Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital condition with a mirror image of the thoracic and abdominal viscera. Although several cases of laparoscopic surgery for treating situs inversus have been reported, we believe that laparoscopic low anterior resection for the rectal cancer associated with situs inversus has not yet been reported on. We recently experienced a laparoscopic low anterior resection for rectal cancer and this was performed on a patient with situs inversus. The patient was a 66-year-old woman who presented with constipation for about 1 month. Chest X-rays showed dextrocardia, and the abdomen CT scans revealed situs inversus totalis with upper rectal cancer. She was successfully treated with laparoscopic low anterior resection even though the surgeon was not familiar with situs inversus totalis.

Journal of the Korean Society of Emergency Medicine 2000;11(3):385-389
Frequent anomalies causing a left-sided appendix are situs inversus and malrotation. The ectopic position of the appendix frequently causes a delay or error in diagnosis because of atypical symptoms. A physical examination is of limited value unless dextrocardia is present. A left-sided appendix is a rare anomaly, but when other diseases are ruled out, it must be considered especially at the emergency department.

Portal vein anomalies include absence, duplication, and malposition (preduodenal portal vein). Duplication of the portal vein or a preduodenal portal vein are hazards at the time of biliary or duodenal surgery, or liver transplantation. Preduodenal portal vein, which was first reported by knight in 1921, is extremely rare congenital anomaly and may cause duodenal obstruction. Recently, we experienced a case of preduodenal portal vein associated with dextrocardia, situs inversus, and duodenal obstruction in a 3 days old male newborn and report with review of the references.

Situs inversus totalis with dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly and its incidence is approximately 1: 6,000-35,000 in general population. Such patients usually have structurally normal hearts and are expected to have normal life span. Coronary angioplasty in such patients have previously been reported, but reported cases in literature are scanty. This report describes our experience of successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty with stent in acute myocardial infarction patient with situs inversus totalis and dextrocardia who exhibited total occlusion of the mid left anterior descending coronary artery.

10.Left-sided appendicitis in a patient with situs inversus totalis.

Journal of the Korean Surgical Society 2012;83(3):175-178
Situs inversus totalis is a rare inherent disease in which the thoracic and abdominal organs are transposed. Symptoms of appendicitis in situs inversus (SI) may appear in the left lower quadrant, and the diagnosis of appendicitis is very difficult. We report a case of left-sided appendicitis diagnosed preoperatively after dextrocardia that was detected by chest X-ray, although the chief complaint of the patient was left lower-quadrant pain. The patient underwent an emergent laparoscopic appendectomy under the diagnosis of appendicitis after abdominal computed tomography (CT). In patients with left lower quadrant pain, if the chest X-ray shows dextrocardia, one should suspect left-sided appendicitis. A strong suspicion of appendicitis and an emergency laparoscopic operation after confirmation of the diagnosis by imaging modalities including abdominal CT or sonography can reduce the likelihood of misdiagnosis and complications including perforation and abscess. Laparoscopic appendectomy in SI was technically more challenging because of the mirror nature of the anatomy.
