Abstract
Dextrocardia with situs inversus (situs inversus totalis) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the abnormal positioning of the heart and other organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities. When combined with a ventricular septal defect (VSD), it presents unique challenges in diagnosis and management. Here, we present a case report of a patient with dextrocardia, situs inversus, and a peri-membranous VSD, highlighting the diagnostic process and discussing available treatment options.
