1 case of left-sided abdominal organ inversion complicated by right hemicolon torsion
Visceral inversion is a rare congenital malformation in which the anatomical position of the internal organs,such as the heart,lungs,stomach,intestines,liver,gallbladder,and spleen,is reversed from normal.At present,the cause of abdominal organ inversion has not been determined.Most scholars believe that it is related to family heredity,chromosome structure aberration or malrotation during embryonic development,and the theory of umbilical cord torsion and primary ciliary dysfunction are the most important theories.The most common type seen in the clinic is total visceral anomaly,in which the left and right sides are completely inverted.Partial visceral anomalies are rare,and the incidence of associated diseases due to anatomical variations is relatively higher,which is of greater clinical significance.In this case,the patient has partial visceral inversion,the left side of the abdominal organs inversion on the right side,while the right side of the organs anatomically no significant changes,due to the special anatomical inversion,resulting in the right hemicolon is more free,high mobility,is an important anatomical reason for the occurrence of the right hemicolonic torsion in this case.The treatment experience is worthy of clinical reference,and no similar report is seen in the review of related literature.
