Isolated Dextrocardia with Situs Solitus (Dextroversion)

Dextrocardia refers to the position of the heart in the right side of the chest. It is a rare clinical phenomenon with a reported incidence of 1 in 5,000-30,000. Although there is a variation in terminology and classification with regard to dextrocardia, the condition of right-sided heart with situs solitus is most commonly referred to as dextroversion. The authors report the case of dextroversion in a patient who presented in their hospital for evaluation of chest pain on exertion. Cardiac catheterization produced unfamiliar angiographic images, but there was no severe technical problem during coronary angiography. Apart from dextroversion, no further cardiac or noncardiac anomaly was found.
