Аннотация

With an estimated incidence of one in 10,000 to one in 50,000 patients, Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare innate anomaly, portraying a mirror image of the normal anatomy, as the cardiac position and abdominal viscera are completely inverted. Despite the fact that physicians and researchers have been dealing with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic for three years, there is a lack of published data examining the potential effects of anatomic variations on coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. This study aimed to contribute to this domain by presenting a rare case of a COVID-19 infection coexisting with SIT as one of the very few cases reporting the simultaneous presence of the two pathologies. We sought to present this case of COVID-19 in a quinquagenarian female, in whom SIT was an incidental radiological finding. The reversed anatomy did not seem to affect the clinical progression of the virus. However, due to the lack of scientific evidence, the potential long-term effects, if any, of COVID-19 on SIT cannot be predicted. The recognition of the mirror pattern will offer a personalized treatment plan, reducing the risk of severe complications and management mishaps.
