Eur J Pediatr. 2013 Feb;172(2):269-72. doi: 10.1007/s00431-012-1794-5. Epub 2012 Jul 21.

Abstract

Poland syndrome has been reported to be associated with true dextrocardia, but not with true situs inversus. In this report, we describe the first patient with total situs inversus in medical literature and try to highlight the syndrome's probable etiology and pathogenetic mechanisms in utero.
