ABSTRACT:
Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the complete transposition of the thoracic and abdominal organs. We report the case of a previously healthy 21-year-old patient who was incidentally diagnosed with the condition at age 19, following an abdominal ultrasound requested on her own initiative due to a prior suspicion of an anatomical variation. The patient had a history of dextrocardia identified in childhood, without further investigation at the time. The diagnosis was confirmed by ultrasound, which showed complete inversion of the abdominal organs. This case reinforces the importance of early identification of congenital anatomical anomalies and their clinical relevance in diagnostic and surgical contexts.
