Situs in versus is a rare anomaly where there is reversal of the visceral organ location and usually associated with Kartagener syndrome and digestive, circulatory and respiratory diseases abnormalities. The lateralization of visceralorgans to a side is a feature of vertebrates and humans are externally symmetrical but internally asymmetrical. Normal anatomy imparts the heart to left and the liver to the right which is found not only in humans but also other animals. This case showed aqueduct stenos is with hydrocephalus with normal corpus callosum. The association of situs in versus with ciliary abnormalities and therefore is rarely associated with hydrocephalus, polycystic disease or retinal degeneration. PubMed search for situs in versus total is with hydrocephalus showed only 7 results with 3 of them in animal studies, one was not relevant and the rest in human. Hydrocephalus was present in only two studies, one of them cadaveric finding. The association with hydrocephalus is very rare and we present such a case report.

“…6 Piegger et al reported a human fetus where there was spina bifida, club foot, situs inversus totalis, and hydrocephalus with agenesis of corpus callosum. 7 In a study by Mahapatra and Jindal on 119 patients with spinal dysraphism, only 17 were more than 16 years old. Split cord malformation was present in 38 patients.…”

Recent compelling evidence from animal models and human case reports has led to hypotheses that defects of the midline and laterality defects (e.g., situs inversus) are etiologically related. Confirmation from additional case reports of situs inversus and split cord malformation could prove useful in determining a genetic locus for split cord malformations or implicating various chemical agents that are known to produce situs inversus as potential causative factors in the production of split cord malformations.
