Clinical Analysis And Literature Review Of Situs Inversus In 42 Children

Objective: Situs Inversus is a kind of rare congenital dysplasia,which may or may not be accompanied by organ dysplasia.Therefore,this study will explore the clinical data of children diagnosed with visceral transposition in our hospital,and learn relevant literature to improve the understanding of this disease.Methods: The clinical data of all children with Situs Inversus diagnosed in our hospital from 1999 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed,and the clinical data including age,gender,clinical symptoms and signs,combined with other organ development abnormalities,and treatment methods were summarized and analyzed.Results: In this study,a total of 42 children with Situs Inversus were collected,including 24 males and 18 females.22 persons from 0 to 1 year old,14 persons from 1 year to 5 years old,and 6 persons from 5 years old and above.Twenty-three patients sought treatment for respiratory symptoms,17 for heart murmur,1 for urinary symptoms,and 1 for sacral caudal mass.A total of 41 patients were combined with other organ dysplasia,including 39 patients with cardiovascular system malformation,3 patients with pulmonary dysplasia,1 patient with right kidney deficiency,1 patient with splenomegaly syndrome,and 1 patient with tethered cord syndrome.A total of 14 cases were treated with surgery at first admission.Conclusion: The most common complication of Situs Inversus was cardiovascular deformity,followed by pulmonary dysplasia.Situs Inversus itself has no special treatment,but surgery is an important treatment method for the concomitant organ dysplasia.
