“…However, some common congenital cardiac defects have been reported including transposition of the great arteries and ventricular septal defects [5]. Complete Situs Inversus may also be associated chronic sinusitis (Kartagener syndrome) which represent 20-25% cases and adenoid hypertrophy [5,8].…”

Dextrocardia with Situs Inversus is a rare heart condition characterized by not only variant positioning of the heart, but also the mirror-image reversal of the organs in the chest and abdominal cavity. Dextrocardia with Situs inversus totalis was detected incidentally in a 30-35-year-old male cadaver in our daily routine dissection for undergraduate medical students. We found that the right lung was bi-lobed and had a cardiac notch while the left lung had three lobes. The liver and gallbladder were positioned on left and the spleen on the right. The arch of aorta passed posteriorly to the right and azygous vein arched on the left bronchus to enter the superior vena cava on the left side. Situs inversus, though rare condition, is dangerous if not diagnosed prior to surgery.

Dextrocardia with situs inversus are rare congenital anomalies which can be asymptomatic and compatible with normal life. They are characterized by mirror images of all intra-thoracic and intra-abdominal viscera. Our aim is to report an incidental finding of dextrocardia with situs inversus in a neonate with neonatal sepsis. A day-old male term neonate presented with features of infection. Physical examination revealed cardiac apex on the 4th right intercostal space, along the mid-clavicular line. Chest radiograph and abdominal ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of dextrocardia with situs inversus. Bilateral cervical ribs were also seen on chest radiograph. He was managed with antib i o t i c s a n d d i s c h a r g e d .Newborn babies should have a thorough physical examination after delivery before discharge to enable early diagnosis of congenital anomalies for appropriate referral.
