Situs Inversus Totalis
Situs Inversus Totalis is a rare congenital condition where a person's internal organs are mirrored from their normal positions. For example, the heart may be located on the right side of the chest instead of the left, and other organs like the liver and stomach are also reversed. This condition occurs during fetal development and affects about 1 in 10,000 people.
Most individuals with Situs Inversus Totalis lead normal, healthy lives without any significant complications. However, it can sometimes be associated with other medical conditions, such as Kartagener's syndrome, which involves respiratory issues. Diagnosis is often made through imaging techniques like X-rays or ultrasounds.
