Abstract

GONZALEZ-AYALA, Daisy Analía. Generalized peritonitis of appendicular origin with intraoperative finding of situs inversus abdominalis. Cir. parag. [online]. 2024, vol.48, n.1, pp.31-33. ISSN 2307-0420.  https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.2024.abril.31.

Situs inversus is a very rare congenital disease that affects one in 10,000 people. The revelation of situs inversus due to a peritoneal syndrome is an extremely rare event. Patients with situs inversus have a 0.016-0.024% incidence of acute appendicitis and generally present with some complication. We present the case of a patient with generalized peritonitis of appendiceal origin with a casual intraoperative finding of situs inversus abdominalis.

Keywords : Appendicular peritonitis; Situs inversus.
