Acta Cardiol. 2012 Feb;67(1):109-10. doi: 10.1080/ac.67.1.2146574.

Abstract

We describe a case of a middle-aged woman, known with situs inversus totalis. She was suffering from progressive dyspnoea. With different imaging techniques we came to the correct diagnosis, a partial abnormal pulmonary venous return, which was surgically confirmed. Although the structure was complex, the treatment was simple.
