The disorders discussed include situs inversus totalis (mirror-image dextrocardia), dextroversion, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, and polysplenia syndrome.
Conclusion:
In this article we describe an approach to dextrocardia in adult patients and illustrate the imaging manifestations of the most common underlying disorders.
