Congenital hemivertebrae combined with situs inversus totalis: A rare case report

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.
