Abstract
RATIONALE
Situs inversus totalis is a rare malposition of organs that typically involves lesions in the respiratory, circulatory, or urinary systems. Cases of congenital hemivertebrae combined with situs inversus totalis are extremely rare and have limited reports.
PATIENT CONCERNS
We report a 2.5 years old girl with 2 congenital hemipyramids and complete visceral inversion who ultimately underwent hemilaminectomy.
DIAGNOSIS
Congenital hemivertebrae combined with situs inversus totalis.
INTERVENTION
The patient underwent hemilaminectomy.
OUTCOMES
The spinal deformity was corrected.
LESSONS
For patient with spinal deformities combined with situs inversus totalis, surgery can be an effective treatment method. But we also need to be vigilant about the dysfunction of various systems.
