Situs inversus totalis with Aberrant Left Subclavian Artery: A Case Report

초록

Situs inversus totalisis a rare congenital condition characterized by the reversed positioning of internal organs. It can occur in various forms, including complete or partial reversal, and is often discovered accidentally through medicalorg imagin postmortem examination. In some cases, it may also be accompanied by vascular anomalies. This report describes a rareof instanceSitus inversus totalis in an 83-year-old female cadaver (cause of death: multiple organ failure) during a dissection conducted by a medical student. The cadaver showed mirrored positioning of the thoraco-abdominal organs and blood vessels, along with variationsein th vessels. Notable additional anomalies included the presence of an aberrant right subclavian artery and a bicarotid trunk,bsencetheofaa brachiocephalic trunk and a recurrent laryngeal nerve. The rare anatomical anomalySitus ofinversus totalis, which involves the mirror- image transposition of the organs, is discussed with the additional anomalies highlighted. Thus, this report is expectedtoanceenh the understanding of the correlation betweenSitus inversus totalisand associated anomalies and to provide useful information for accurate diagnosis and relevant surgical procedures.
