To the best of our knowledge association of splenic rupture caused by blunt trauma in association with situs inversus has not been reported before. There is no report of emergency splenectomy for situs inversus before. We are reporting a case of splenic rupture caused by blunt trauma in association with situs inversus. Preoperative diagnosis of associated congenital heart defects and associated anatomical defects is necessary before operation.Entities:
