Introduction: Situs Viscerum Inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare anomaly with genetic predisposition, in which organs are translated, completely or partially, on the opposite side of the body. Generally there are no organic dysfunctions. Situs Inversus can cause difficulties in the diagnostic and therapeutic management of abdominal diseases because of the mirror-like anatomy. On a clinical point of view the symptoms of cholelithiasis may be confused by the opposite position of the gall bladder
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 48 year old female latin-american with symptomatic cholelithiasis and Situs Viscerum Inversus Totalis, treated with Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
Conclusion: Videolaparoscopy represents the gold standard treatment in managing cholelithiasis in SIT patients. Surgical treatment can be facilitated in case of well-experienced operators, as it is well recognised a major difficulty for surgeons in managing the anatomical condition of SIT.

Situs viscerum inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital anomaly. Deceased donors with this condition are often declined because of the technical issues in both the organ's procurement and its transplant. Only eight cases of deceased donor organs with SIT were reported to be used for liver transplantation (LT).

Background: Reversed condition is rarely found in most flatfishes in natural environment, except for some certain species. The mechanism controlling the reversals in flatfishes has been studied in some cultivated species, whereas some have only few cases for the entire family and remain unclear. Here, we report the first record of a dextral (reversed) specimen of Amaoka & Shen, 1993 collected off southwestern Taiwan recently.

Situs viscerum inversus (SVI) is a very rare condition in that abdominal and thoracic organs are located reversed. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening pathology due to progressive aortic enlargement until the rupture. The association between SVI and AAA is very infrequent.

Background: Percutaneous closure is nowadays still deemed challenging in patent forame ovale (PFO) associated to multi-fenestrated atrial septal aneurysm (ASA). This anatomic arrangement is still considered a significant risk factor for recurrence of paradoxical embolism. Theoretically, transcatheter approach could be theoretically even more complex in the case of dextrocardia and visceral situs inversus.

Background: Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare congenital heart anomaly. Physiological correction may be associated with a long pre-symptomatic period in many patients and delayed accidental diagnosis. Additional related congenital malformations may increase the complexity of cardiac interventions.
