Successful Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy With Defibrillator Implantation in a Patient With Isolated Dextrocardia and Situs Inversus Totalis: Role of High-Resolution Three-Dimensional Computed Tomography in Procedural Planning. [PDF]
Preprocedural 3D‐CT identified a suitable posterolateral coronary vein in a patient with dextrocardia and situs inversus. Right‐sided CRT‐D implantation guided by 3D imaging achieved optimal lead positioning and biventricular pacing, underscoring the importance of preprocedural anatomical planning in complex congenital settings.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Joubert Syndrome 23 With Left Isomerism: A Novel Phenotype Associated With Pathogenic KIAA0586 Variant. [PDF]
Abstract Joubert syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive ciliopathy defined by the “molar tooth” sign caused by cerebellar vermis hypoplasia and abnormal superior cerebellar peduncles. Over 40 genes are known to cause the disorder, including KIAA0586, which encodes the centrosomal protein TALPID3, essential for ciliogenesis and Hedgehog signaling ...

Interesting Case of Mesocardia: A Rare Cardiac Positional Anomaly. [PDF]
We present an extremely rare case of a 37‐year‐old man presenting with chronic cough who was incidentally found to have mesocardia on chest imaging, with a midline heart and associated upper thoracic scoliosis. Further tests revealed eosinophilic asthma, treated successfully.

Incidental Diagnosis of Situs Inversus Totalis in a 45-Year-Old Male Who Presented With Acute Asthma Exacerbation: A Case Report and Brief Literature Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Incidental situs inversus totalis (SIT) requires thorough anatomical mapping to exclude associated syndromes (e.g., Kartagener) and congenital anomalies. Early identification, patient education on mirrored anatomy, and multidisciplinary coordination are essential to prevent iatrogenic errors during future interventions, even in asymptomatic ...

A Rare Case of Dextrocardia With Atrioventricular Septal Defect and Situs Inversus in an 8-Month-Old Infant Complicated by Severe Acute Malnutrition. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The key clinical message in this case report highlights the rare coexistence of situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia, atrioventricular septal defect, and severe acute malnutrition in an Ethiopian infant. It underscores the need for heightened awareness, timely diagnosis, and integrated management strategies for such complex congenital and ...
