Abstract EN
Situs inversus totalis is a congenital syndrome characterized by a total left-right transposition of all abdominal and thoracic organs.
It may be associated with chronic respiratory conditions such as sinusitis and bronchiectasis, composing the Kartagener syndrome.
If not detected, this condition may compromise the early diagnosis of surgical emergencies such as cholecystitis and appendicitis.
A rare case of appendicitis in a patient with Kartagener syndrome is here reported.
