Clinical Information

A congenital abnormality in which organs in the thorax and the abdomen are opposite to their normal positions (situs solitus) due to lateral transposition. Normally the stomach and spleen are on the left, liver on the right, the three-lobed right lung is on the right, and the two-lobed left lung on the left. Situs inversus has a familial pattern and has been associated with a number of genes related to microtubule-associated proteins
A congenital condition in which there is complete right-to-left reversal of the position of the major thoracic and abdominal organs (that is, they are arranged in a mirror image of the normal positioning)
A laterization defect marked by asymmetric position of visceral organs usually occurring as a component of a wide variety of abnormalities. Transposition may be complete, with the heart, lungs and all abdominal organs reversed, or incomplete, manifesting itself as a simple reversal of the stomach or spleen. Associated malformations are variable and may include tetralogy of fallot, transposition of great vessels, pulmonary valve stenosis, ventricular and atrial septal defects, asplenia-polysplenia. And other defects

dextrocardia without mention of complete transposition (746.87)
