Unlabelled: Brain morphology understanding is essential for radiologists, neurologists, and neurosurgeons. Historically, anatomical learning of brain relied on ex vivo specimens. Modern in vivo brain CT and MRI provide spatial, three-dimensional imaging capabilities crucial to help diagnose diseases, plan surgeries, and monitor treatment progress.

With limited time for analysing computed tomography (CT) data in medical emergencies, radiologists and clinicians are not always aware of congenital pathologies, especially in asymptomatic cases. We present a case report of heterotaxy syndrome detected incidentally in a 62-year-old female with massive pulmonary embolism, local saccular aneurysm of the aortic arch and COVID-19. The presented case describes an unusual combination of life-threatening conditions and congenital anomalies.

Computed tomography (CT)-based morphometric analysis of the cardiovascular system prior to the surgery helps to describe vessel topography and size, choose the right surgical insertion site, avoid vessel trauma, and prevent hemorrhage during surgical intervention. We present a case report of situs inversus totalis detected incidentally in a 74-year-old male with the acute abdominal syndrome.
