Abstract
We present a 24-year-old lady who reported at the radiology department, UBTH Benin City for a chest radiograph, as part of her pre-employment medical examination. She was asymptomatic, her past medical history was not significant and physical examination revealed an apex beat located on the 5th right intercoastal space. The chest radiograph confirmed dextrocardia and also revealed the gastric air bubble on the right, which was suggestive of situs inversus totalis. Barium meal examination confirmed the right-sided position of the stomach, in keeping with situs inversus. Ultrasonography revealed a left sided liver and gall bladder, with a right sided location of the spleen.Entities:
