A Rare Case of Situs Inversus Presenting As Left Sided Acute Appendicitis

Mahmood A, Hakeem A

Abstract :

Appendicitis is a common surgical condition with various clinical presentations. The diagnosis could be obscured by underlying undiagnosed anatomical anomalies like situs inversus and intestinal malrotation. Situs inversus and intestinal malrotation – symptomps of these congenital anomalies occur rarely after the age of one year. We present a case of left sided acute appendicitis in an adult woman who was previously unaware about her situs anomaly.
