Situs Inversus With Liver Metastases: Diagnosis With Sonography and Computed Tomography

Situs inversus totalis is a rare condition of the organs being transposed within the abdominal and chest cavities. The cause of situs inversus is unknown, but it is a recessive trait. Complete situs inversus may be associated with other malformations, such as levocardia, dextrocardia, and Kartagener syndrome; congenital heart disease may be present in some cases. The case presented describes a patient with situs inversus totalis with detection of liver metastases diagnosed by 2D sonography, computed tomography, and biopsy.
