Abstrakt: Mirror-image dextrocardia is usually associated with situs inversus. We present the case of a 36-year-old man in whom mirror-image dextrocardia without any intracardiac anomaly was associated with thoracic-abdominal discordance and a normal spleen. The abdominal organs were in the normal position. This case represents a rare type of specific anomaly of visceral position characterized by complete thoracic-abdominal discordance.
