    This report details a rare case of levocardia in a 14-year-old boy. The patient presented with a normally positioned spleen in the right upper abdomen, unrelated to atrial transposition.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Congenital Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Levocardia, a condition where the heart is on the left side, can be associated with complex congenital abnormalities.
    • Accurate anatomical localization of visceral organs is crucial for diagnosing associated conditions.

    Observation:

    • A 14-year-old male patient presented with levocardia.
    • Scintiphotography revealed a spleen located in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen.
    • Angiographic and electrocardiographic evaluations excluded transposition of the great arteries.

    Findings:

    • The patient exhibits a rare combination of levocardia with splenic inversion (dextroposition).
    • This anatomical arrangement is not associated with the typical cardiac malformations like atrial transposition.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of comprehensive imaging in patients with levocardia to identify associated visceral anomalies.
    • Understanding such rare presentations can refine diagnostic criteria and improve patient management strategies for congenital conditions.
