Introduction And Importance:
Dextrocardia with situs solitus is an exceptionally rare congenital anomaly. Its asymptomatic nature may delay diagnosis, highlighting the need for careful prenatal and postnatal evaluation.
Case Presentation:
A full-term female neonate was found to have isolated dextrocardia with situs solitus following prenatal suspicion. Postnatal chest X-ray and echocardiography confirmed dextroversion with normal cardiac anatomy and function. No associated anomalies were found. The patient remained asymptomatic and was stable at 3-month follow-up.
Clinical Discussion:
Isolated dextrocardia with situs solitus is rare and often discovered incidentally. Our case illustrates the importance of thorough prenatal imaging and clinical follow-up to detect potential associated anomalies.
Conclusion:
Even when asymptomatic, dextrocardia requires comprehensive evaluation. This case contributes to the limited literature and emphasizes the value of imaging and vigilance in similar scenarios.
