Core Tip |
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare and mostly asymptomatic condition. This care report describes a previously-diagnosed seventeen-year-old adolescent who presented for a routine healthcare visit. During history taking, he denied any past medical conditions, including cardiovascular issues, until physical exam showed heart sounds on the right. He then revealed that he had been diagnosed with SIT incidentally at age 12, but did not realize that it is a significant condition. Patients with SIT may not understand the importance of the diagnosis and its potential ramifications. Healthcare workers must recognize that this lack of understanding of their diagnosis exists and educate them. Our patient was counseled that his diagnosis, although asymptomatic, should be relayed to healthcare teams. |
