Situs inversus totalis

J M Spoon. Neonatal Netw. 2001 Feb.

Abstract

The etiology of situs inversus totalis remains uncertain. However, the literature establishes that isolated situs inversus totalis is usually asymptomatic in the neonate. This case study illustrates the importance of physical assessment skills in identifying situs inversus totalis in the neonate. Current research may reveal the etiology of this rare but fascinating abnormality.
