| Dextrocardia |
|---|
Physical anomaly in which the heart tube bends to the left, instead of the right. The condition usually happens when all organ systems are reversed (situs inversus). When it does occur with situs inversus, there are generally no functional abnormalities; when dextrocardia occurs without situs inversus, severe functional abnormalities can often be expected. |
