[A rare cause of left lower quadrant abdominal pain: acute appendicitis with situs inversus totalis].
For the patient admitted with right lower quadrant abdominal pain, acute appendicitis is the most frequently considered diagnosis. Appendectomy is the most common of all emergency operations. However, there may be several reasons for left lower quadrant abdominal pain. Situs inversus totalis is an anomaly that occurs during embryonic development when intraabdominal and intrathoracic organs have reverse localization. In this case report, we present a patient who was admitted with left lower quadrant abdominal pain and was diagnosed as situs inversus totalis and acute appendicitis. In view of the legal repercussions for doctors as a result of erroneous diagnosis and treatment, we think that adequate evaluation of the studies in the emergency service is important and that the radiological investigations have to be used appropriately and sufficiently.
