Dextrocardia and Situs Inversus Totalis in a Nigerian Cadaver: A Case Report of Rare Anomaly

This report describes an adult male cadaver with dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis in a Nigerian cadaver. The photographic illustrations revealed transposition of some of the visceral organs such that the stomach and spleen were located on the right and the liver and gall bladder on the left....
