Documented Case

Situs inversus is a rare congenital anomaly that has reportedly been associated with caecal volvulus. We describe a case of partial situs inversus complicated by intestinal obstruction secondary to three simultaneously occurring volvuli of the stomach, caecum and sigmoid colon. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case in the literature of multiple, simultaneously occurring volvuli.

Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a rare congenital anomaly in forming the cervical vertebrae resulting in the fusion of two or more of the vertebrae. KFS is associated with many congenital anomalies, some of which are common and well known. Here, we report a child with an extremely rare association of KFS with situs inversus totalis (SIT). Both KFS and SIT are genetically heterogeneous and their co-occurrence suggests a high possibility of sharing the same underlying causative agent. Here, we review the genetic background that is known for these two conditions in the literature.

Opening Up

It is critical to effectively use every available organ to meet the increasing demands for liver transplantation. Situs inversus is a rare congenital anomaly caused by obstruction of viscus rotation during embryonic development. Situs inversus was once regarded as a contraindication to liver transplantation because of the technical difficulties associated with the unique vascular anatomy and concern about achieving accurate graft positioning. Here, we present a successful case of liver transplantation using a graft from a donor with situs inversus totalis. The related experience will contribute to opening up new realms for the use of such rare organ resources.

Background: Surgical problem known as Acute Cholecystitis is very common nowadays; however it may cause trouble in diagnosing when person has situs inversus, (i.e.) viscera situated on the opposite side of the body. Our case report discusses the history and physical exam findings, images of radiograph, diagnosis, and how we dealt with cholecystitis in situs inversus with dextrocardia.Case Presentation: An eighty-six yrs. old male having pain in the upper left hypochondrium region, presented in emergency department. He was later diagnosed to have acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) with cholelithiasis (presence of gallstones in gallbladder) in situs inversus totalis. Patient underwent elective open cholecystectomy within 24 h. Patient recovered well and was discharged on fourth postoperative day.Conclusion: Acute cholecystitis in Situs Inversus with Dextrocardia is very rare congenital anomaly and requires great expertise in the field of surgery to operate on these patients because of the reverse anatomy of the organs.

Colon Duplication

Gastrointestinal tract (GIT) duplication is a rare congenital anomaly with an incidence of about 1 in 4,500 newborns. Duplication of the intestine, as a rule, is diagnosed at 2–3 years, however, cases of this pathology being detected in patients of any age are described. Duplication of GIT can be asymptomatic or be detected when massive intestinal bleeding, intestinal perforation, obstruction due to intussusception or volvulus, and even malignancy in the doubled section occur. The characteristic signs of a duplication of the intestine are a well-developed muscular membrane, a general blood supply to the duplication with a portion of the supporting intestine, the presence of a mucous membrane that coincides with the supporting segment, in a third of cases, ectopic tissue is found. Our article describes the staged treatment of a patient with total tubular colon duplication complicated by acute intestinal obstruction.

Complete Situs Inversus

Situs inversus is a rare congenital anomaly, characterized by transposition of the large organs. Although the anomaly is generally without symptoms, it can cause difficulties in the diagnostic process. We present the case of 44-year old man presenting with acute cholecystitis. The patient underwent successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy, from which he recovered uneventful. Performing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with situs inversus can be technically more demanding and requires re-orientation from the surgeon.

Cor triatriatum sinister is a rare congenital anomaly in which a membrane divides LA into two distinct chambers, supramitral ring is another membrane dividing LA. Combination of both these defects is very rare and these occurring in tandem with complete situs inversus with associated VSD are rarer still. 12 year old female with h/o dyspnea and a systolic murmur presented with complete situs inversus with cor triatriatum sinister with supramitral ring with VSD. Cor triatriatum sinister and supramitral ring and complete situs inversus is a very rare congenial disorder that can be confused clinically with congenital mitral stenosis but can be adequately diagnosed with transthoracic echocardiography and surgical correction is the definitive cure for these anomalies although percutaneous approach can also be tried.

Abstract Background Cor triatriatum dexter is an extremely rare congenital anomaly, and in most cases, without hemodynamic significance. Congenital cytomegalovirus infection is the most common viral infection, the majority of infected infants being asymptomatic and only 5-15% being symptomatic in the neonatal period. Case report We present the case of a female infant, aged 3 months. Clinical examination reveals cranial and facial anomalies. The karyotype was normal. Laboratory tests revealed the presence of anti-CMV antibodies in urine. Imaging studies showed cerebral and renal anomalies. Echocardiographic exam revealed a congenital anatomical feature without hemodynamic significance - cor triatriatum dexter. Conclusions although cytomegalovirus infection is mostly asymptomatic, it can present as a complex pathological association, in which a congenital cardiac anatomical feature without hemodynamic significance, considered by some authors as an anatomical variant, can appear

Hysteroscopic Resection

A 23-year-old girl presented with severe cyclical lower abdominal pain during menstruation since menarche, which had increased since the last 4 years. Transabdominal ultrasound showed adnexal mass with no internal vascularity; MRI reported it as bicornuate uterus with one non-communicating right uterine horn with haematometra. On hysteroscopy there was evidence of septate uterus communicating only to the left ostia. Ultrasonography-guided hysteroscopic resection of septa with drainage of haematometra was done. Patient is presently asymptomatic.
