A 66-year-old patient is a person who immigrated to the United States after living in a refugee camp for 20 years. The symptoms of men include chest pain, congestion, cough and pain to the left of the abdomen. However, it is fortunate that it is just a common respiratory infection. After receiving analgesic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs, the patient recovered a few days later.

Situs inversus is a rare situation, but not unprecedented: Donny Osmond is one of the more famous cases. In fact, Situs inversus in which all of the 'reflective' abdominal organs and hearts are the most common and has a ratio of 1 to 10,000 people.

Most complications occur around the heart. In the case of Situs inversus and Dextrocardia, the main arteries may lie parallel instead of cross-cutting, which may make surgery and heart transplant much more difficult.

The status of Situs inversus was first named by Matthew Baillie in 1788 and is the subject of scientific curiosity.

The most recent case was found similar to the recently released 66-year-old Rose Marie Bentley from Oregon, who lived to the age of 99. Until she died, no one knew she had the condition. weirdo.
