Presentation
PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 5 day old neonate presented with features of small bowel obstruction. Radiological investigations revealed situs inversus abdominalis with dilated proximal small bowel loops. [read.qxmd.com]
We present a patient with this condition. A newborn baby presented shortly after birth with persistent bilious vomiting. [scielo.org.za]
Kazunori Ohama and W Schmidt}, journal={Pediatric Surgery International}, year={2004}, volume={9}, pages={518-519} } Two neonates with congenital duodenal obstruction caused by a preduodenal portal vein (PVP) combined with situs inversus abdominalis are presented [semanticscholar.org]
SITUS inversus is a relatively rare condition but one which presents a number of practical considerations to the surgeon. [jamanetwork.com]
But, when associated with midgut volvulus or atresias, it would present early in the neonatal age, as seen in the present series [8, 9]. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]
Entire Body System
- Gangrene
There was a small gangrenous area in the proximal jejunal loop. A Ladd’s procedure, resection of the gangrenous jejunal loop, and jejunojejunal anastomosis was performed. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]
Gastrointestinal
- Odynophagia
He denied associated nausea/vomiting, dysphagia/odynophagia, hematochezia/melena, or weight loss. He reported being treated for H. Pylori infection in the past, no other medical history. No previous EGD/colonoscopy. [journals.lww.com]
Urogenital
- Oliguria
Later, our patient redeveloped oliguria with deranged renal parameters (renal failure), respiratory distress, and generalized edema requiring ventilatory support. [jmedicalcasereports.biomedcentral.com]
Workup
An extensive workup including upper and lower endoscopic examinations, a barium swallow with small bowel follow through and a CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis had been done. Salient findings included situs inversus abdominis. [sages.org]

Gastrointestinal workup including gastric emptying study, esophagogastroduodenoscopy and colonoscopy were negative, as was a workup for kidney stones. Eventually she was referred to my clinic for management of nutcracker syndrome. [vascsurg.me]
Serum
- Dyslipidemia
Presentation of the case We report a case of a 69-year-old man, with hypertension controlled by medication, dyslipidemia, hyperuricemia and benign prostatic hyperplasia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
Isolated situs inversus has an excellent prognosis, typically with an uneventful prenatal and postnatal course. [4] When situs inversus is associated with an underlying condition or syndrome, the prognosis may depend on that of the underlying condition [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]
Prognosis The prognosis for an individual with situs inversus is good, and in the absence of a heart defect or other underlying diagnosis, life expectancy is normal. Prevention There is no known method of preventing situs inversus. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Echocardiographic detection of cardiac defect coupled with appropriate management by cardiac surgeon where available is associated with better prognosis. [afrjpaedsurg.org]
Using image exams anda complete evaluation of the patient helps the correct management in caso of surgical procedures, and consequently influence in the prognosis. References 1. Fanshawe AE, Qurashi K. [imedicalsociety.org]
Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
This patient has a complex disorder of unknown etiology. [medschool.lsuhsc.edu]
There are several etiologic theories, none of which appears to explain the phenomenon fully. In a medial sagittal plane, the human embryo of a few millimeters presents two sides which are mirror images of each other. [pubs.rsna.org]

Epidemiology
The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. [books.google.ro]
Epidemiology [ edit ] The occurrence ( incidence ) on abdominal or chest X-rays is around 0.1% but it can be up to 1% in series of older adults. [5] It has also been reported in children. [4] Synonyms [ edit ] Synonyms include interpositio hepatodiaphragmatica [en.wikipedia.org]
The review we present here is simply a descriptive one, and one that does not attempt to answer epidemiological questions. [medschool.lsuhsc.edu]
