Authors report a case of preduodenal portal vein in a woman 68 years old with acute cholecystitis in situs viscerum inversus adbominis and levocardia. Surgery was difficult. They shortly analyze also etiology and clinical manifestations of situs inversus and PPV, with related malformations. They conclude that it is important to recognize the presence of situs inversus preoperatively and everytime suspect other anatomical anomalies.

A rare disorder called situs inversus partialis (SIP) is characterized by the transposition of organs in the abdomen or thoracic cavity from one side of the body to the other (the mirror image of normal). Autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, rare genetic mutations, and X-linked recessive inheritance patterns have been identified to be involved in this condition. Laparoscopic cholecystectomies have been successfully performed on patients with SIT.

Given the anatomical variations in SIT, surgeons must exercise extreme caution when performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy to avoid iatrogenic bile duct injury. Despite the high difficulty index associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy in SIT, there is only one case report of common bile duct (CBD) injury in the English-language literature.
