Abstract :

Situs abnormality in fetus is rare. Most of the time an abnormal situs is associated with a structural cardiac abnormality and abnormal arrangement of lungs and abdominal viscera. Cardiac situs almost always correlates with visceral situs. Here we report a fetus with reversed abdominal situs in presence of normal cardiac situs, connection and function with successful delivery at term. This is first report of such anomaly in fetus from India.
