Presentation
We present the case of a fourteen-year-old boy with congenital cyanotic heart disease, isolated levocardia and splenic abscess. It is the first report of both these conditions occurring in the same person. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In the presented case no associated cardiac malformations were present and the 55-year-old woman remained symptom-free for a long time until she developed an acquired valve disease. [unboundmedicine.com]
In a study of 19 patients presenting with partial or complete SI from 1973 to 2001, only one has presented with levocardia, the remainder with dextrocardia (Fulcher & Turner 2002). [fasebj.org]

Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease
Abstract: (4709 Views) Introduction: Levocardia with situs inversus, a rare congenital disorder, is usually associated with severe cyanotic congenital heart disease. Thus these patients have adverse prognosis. [hmj.hums.ac.ir]
Cyanotic congenital heart diseases (transposition of atria, ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defects and diminutive right ventricle) in an infant were reported by Padmavati et al. [8] However, literature search also showed case-reports in which [scirp.org]

Multiple Congenital Anomalies
It is often associated with multiple congenital anomalies. We present the case of a 38-year-old woman with dyspnea and a clinical history of chronic kidney disease and kidney transplantation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diastolic Murmur
Examination revealed an acyanotic patient with situs inversus and pansystolic and mid diastolic murmur best heard at right lower parasternal area. Electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, and echo doppler study were done. [heartviews.org]

Mid-Diastolic Murmur
Examination revealed an acyanotic patient with situs inversus and pansystolic and mid diastolic murmur best heard at right lower parasternal area. Electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, and echo doppler study were done. [heartviews.org]
Workup
Following imaging workup, palliative surgery of an atrial septectomy and replacement of the RPA were performed a few months after presentation. After surgery, the patient improved clinically. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The suggested workup in the prenatal evaluation of isolated levocardia should include determination of the situs, identification of heart anomalies, and detection of the major vessels and abdominal viscera. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

In both cases, fetal cardiac function remained within the normal range throughout pregnancy, and no treatment for the heart was required after birth. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Many children with congenital heart defects don't need treatment, but others do. Treatment can include medicines, catheter procedures, surgery, and heart transplants. [icdlist.com]

Prognosis
This is also known as isolated levocardia and is almost always associated with severe forms of congenital heart defects with poor prognosis. We report isolated levocardia in a 13-year-old symptomatic male patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Thus these patients have adverse prognosis. Case Report: A 2-day-old neonate with mild central cyanosis was admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Prenatal sonographies were normal. [hmj.hums.ac.ir]
Etiology
The etiology of the tricuspid valve stenosis and regurgitation was considered rheumatic because of a history of polyarthritis, early presentation, characteristic echocardiographic valve morphology and combined involvement of the tricuspid valve and the [heartviews.org]

Discussion Etiology of situsinversus anomalies was attributed to the biological expression of a certain protein that affects the heart looping during embryogenesis. Mostly, it has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern [2]. [ijcrr.com]
