Abstract

Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare condition characterized by mirror-image reversal of the thoracoabdominal organs. Although appendiceal pain is typically located in the right lower quadrant, in SIT, this can occur in the left lower quadrant. We present a case of a 40-year-old male with no medical history who complained of acute left lower quadrant pain, nausea, and vomiting with no other symptoms. A computed tomography scan revealed SIT and left-sided acute appendicitis (LSAA), which was managed surgically. This case highlights the importance of including appendicitis in the differential diagnosis for left lower quadrant pain.
