The e-medicine article suggest 0.01% (1 in 10,000) of population is afflicted with Situs inversus, we appear to use this statistic. http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/901226430.html suggests 1 in 7000 to 8000 is afflicted. Which shall we use? -- OldakQuill 19:57, 6 May 2004 (UTC)
The developmental biology of Situs inversus must be governed by the action potential which orders the formation of the tissues of the inverted organs. Ancheta Wis 03:10, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
In particular, the heart is really a spiral of muscle (see Hermann Weyl's book on Symmetry; thus the heart in Situs inversus may be also a inverted spiral as well) Ancheta Wis 03:10, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
When a genetic marker for this condition is discovered, it ought to be possible to detect a difference in action potential during the transition from morula to blastula, as compared to the usual development stages. Ancheta Wis 10:25, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
I've got a book at home with loads on the history of how situs invertus was first discovered. If I get time over the weekend (which actually is probably unlikely) I'll add it in. Otherwise, if anyone wants to look it up and do it themselves, the book is Left Hand, Right Hand (and there's plenty of info at the book's website). -- ALargeElk 13:36, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
Does anyone know of any free images of this? I suppose mirroring regular x-rays won't do. Fredrik 09:47, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
I do not at all understand the meaning of this: Individuals with situs inversus that require transplantation of solid organs (e.g., the liver) may have issues regarding managing the altered anatomy they present with. "Regarding managing" and "present with" aren't even proper English, I think, but I don't understand this well enough to clarify it. Also, I think it'd be nice to know something more about these issues. Nickptar 00:29, 11 May 2004 (UTC)
Teflon Don is right. The problem is the fact that the nerves and blood vessels don't match up. In order to get a heart transplant, a person with situs inversus would have to get a heart from someone else with the same condition.
It's like me putting my name under cystinuria. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.225.163.202 ( talk) 23:31, 5 May 2007 (UTC). 139.225.163.202 23:31, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
Are situs inversus people more likely to be left-handed (because the more common right-handedness gets switched to the other side)? Thanks, 68.6.41.238 04:23, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Since our only child was born with situs inversus totalis does this mean that when we decide to have another one that he/she will have it to? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.128.10.153 ( talk) 04:07, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
My son has Situs Inversus Totalis with PCD(primary ciliary dyskenesia). Which all together are called Kartagener's syndrome. I have been told by my doctors that, Inheritance of the condition where both parents are carriers is 1/4 chance as it is a recessive gene. A 2/4 chance of children being carriers and 1/4 chance of non carrier(non affected). If the above people have a child with the condition it suggests they both have the gene either as a carrier or as affected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.107.207.162 ( talk) 22:18, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
From descriptions in the Enrique Iglesias article, it seems that statements by Mr. Iglesias regarding his anatomy should not be taken seriously. Absent other evidence, I don't think he should be included in the list of notable people with this condition. Perhaps he could be included as a fictional character? Cstaffa ( talk) 22:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Apart from potential complications with diagnosis or organ transplation, does situs inversus cause any medical problems, or does the reversed anatomy function normally? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.111.174.183 ( talk) 15:42, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
53 year old Jack Eigel, with Situs Inversus, recently had a normal heart transplanted. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/reversed-organs-miracle-heart-transplant-man-situs-inversus/Story?id=8629850&page=1
Just thought id mention that The Platner Story by H.G. wells was also about a man with Situs Inversus —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.25.192.4 ( talk) 00:26, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
In the recent film, "Ninja Assassin," staring Korean film singer Rain and the great Sho Kosugi, situs plays a prevalent role in the plot. (SPOILER WARNING!!!) An early reveal features an old man that once survived a ninja attack serendipitously due to the condition. This is a set-up to justify the eventual survival of another key character (female) due to the same condition. This would make a valid addition to the "in fiction" section. 67.161.39.188 ( talk) 08:58, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
This report [1] in telegraph.co.uk says a '64-year-old could be the only man in the world whose internal organs are in the mirror opposite position of where they should be' and this 'is thought to be the only living case of "situs inversus".' But going by the article this is not so rare. Did telegraph.co.uk get the name wrong or is there a even more rarer sub-category of the condition ? -- Mgtm7m ( talk) 15:34, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Hello I'm Deborah varca are in Turin and I have 20 years I have discovered the statum viscerum inversum the age of 13 years does not mean anything preocupante true?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.244.88.80 ( talk) 15:08, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
The length of the fictional examples of characters with this condition is nearly as long as the rest of the content of the article. That seems excessive. What's the guideline on stuff like this? You sure as heck don't make a list of everyone in fiction with, say, blue eyes. 76.98.145.131 ( talk) 19:36, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
Since the editor seems pretty adamant about inserting the image, I wanted to see if perhaps it was just me. Is this accurate? Before removing the image for a third time, I wanted to try to discuss this, and if I'm wrong, awesome, I'll stop removing the image, but from my understanding, this description is inaccurate. I didn't see any sources supporting the description that situs inversus is "due to" KS, and to my understanding, KS is defined by the presence of situs inversus, situs inversus is never "caused by" KS. - Sudo Ghost 15:04, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

Not all his organs are reversed, only the abdominal organs. -- Dr. Hartwig Raeder ( talk) 14:40, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
According to the source https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/heterotaxy-syndrome situs solitus is normal organ distribution, situs inversus – mirror image. Situs ambiguous is everything in between. So Rose Marie Bentley was not situs inversus 1. She was not mirror image. 2. She had some isomerism characteristics, typical for heterotaxy, for example, her right and left lungs both had only two lobes. 3. She had abnormal vessel anatomy and not so typical right atrium. The fact that CNN named her situs inversus does not make her one. Kublakuzz ( talk) 13:07, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

above page is on facebook people with dextrocardia can come together to share their experience
by this we will get chance to study and learn from each other if there are is complications faced by any one of us
It sounds like really bad slang, a comedian impersonating the Latin language or something along those lines.
If it is indeed correct. this post can be ignored. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.105.212.140 ( talk) 18:14, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
