Acute cholecystitis in a patient with heterotaxic anatomy and partial situs inversus
View through CrossRef
It is well recognised that situs inversus totalis can make surgery challenging. However, partial situs inversus with heterotaxic anatomy has rarely been reported. While routine, the presence of symptomatic gallstones or cholecystitis can lead to a complex and difficult operation for such patients. We present the case of a patient with heterotaxic anatomy and partial situs inversus with acute cholecystitis.
