Abstract

Situs inversus totalis is an uncommon congenital anomaly resulting in ‘flipping’ of intra-abdominal and intrathoracic organs. It occurs in only 0.01% to 0.02% of live births and poses a diagnostic challenge for abdominal emergencies. We describe a rare case of intestinal obstruction in an adult patient of situs inversus, due to cecal volvulus twisted on its long mesentery with a spleniculus acting as pivot. Literature review regarding etiology, evaluation and management of situs inversus and cecal volvulus is presented.
