SITUS INVERSUS

Imagine as a doctor you told your patient to go for a routine chest or abdominal x-ray. He or she comes back with the result,you place it in front of illuminated background and you are startled. At first you think you are having problems with your vision or you placed the x-ray film incorrectly. But then after pausing and trying it the other way you discover that there is nothing wrong with your vision and that you placed the x-ray film correctly, you are witnessing a rare condition. All organs that should be on the right are on the left and all organs that should be on the left are on the right. Your patient is fine with no symptoms, just came for a yearly health check-up. If you don't already know about this rare condition don't panic and you are not going mad or forgotten all your anatomy.

 It's SITUS INVERSUS VISCERUM.

Situs inversus (also called situs transversus or oppositus) is a congenital condition in which the major visceral organs are reversed or mirrored from their normal positions. The normal arrangement is known as situs solitus. In other rare cases, in a condition known as situs ambiguus or heterotaxy, situs cannot be determined.
