Abstract

Situs inversus totalis is a congenital condition characterized by the transposition of the thoracic and abdominal organs to the opposite side of the body. Situs inversus totalis is typically asymptomatic, however, these individuals are susceptible to certain defects and malformations such as vascular anomalies and mal-positioned viscera, which can result in a shortened lifespan. There are reports on penetrating abdominal injury in patients with situs inversus. In addition, the presence of pathology of thoracic and abdominal organs in situs inversus patients have been reported. However, from the literature reviewed, there is a paucity of reports on penetrating chest injuries in patients with situs inversus. Hence, we present a case of a patient who presented with a stab chest with situs inversus totalis and a brief discussion on the embryology of the condition.

全倒位穿透性胸伤1例

全位倒置是一种先天性疾病，其特征是胸腹器官移位到身体的另一侧。完全性倒位通常是无症状的，然而，这些人容易受到某些缺陷和畸形的影响，如血管异常和脏器定位错误，这可能导致寿命缩短。有关于穿透性腹部损伤的报道。此外，有报道逆行部位患者存在胸腹脏器病变。然而，从文献回顾来看，关于倒位患者穿透性胸部损伤的报道很少。因此，我们提出了一个病例的病人谁提出了一个刺伤胸部与位置倒置和简要讨论胚胎学的条件。

The journal publishes original papers, invited review articles, historical article, commentaries, obituitary, and book reviews. Its main focus is to understand anatomy through an analysis of structure, function, development and evolution. Priority will be given to studies of that clearly articulate their relevance to the anatomical community. Focal areas include: experimental studies, contributions based on molecular and cell biology and on the application of modern imaging techniques; comparative functional morphology; developmental biology; functional human anatomy; methodological innovations in anatomical research; significant advances in anatomical education. Studies that are essentially descriptive anatomy are appropriate only if they communicate clearly a broader functional or evolutionary significance. All papers should be submitted in English and must be original works that are unpublished and not under consideration by another journal. An international Editorial Board and reviewers from the anatomical disciplines guarantee a rapid review of your paper within two to three weeks after submission.
