Situs Inversus: Treatment

 
Medical Encyclopedia: Situs Inversus: Treatment

There is no treatment for situs inversus. In the unlikely case that a heart defect is present, it should be treated accordingly by a cardiologist.

Individuals who have situs inversus should be sure to inform all physicians involved in their medical care. In addition to preventing unnecessary confusion, this will reduce the risk of missing a crucial diagnosis that presents with location-specific symptoms (such as appendicitis).

— Stefanie B. N. Dugan, M.S.
