Abstract

Akut apandisit dünyada acil cerrahi gerektiren en sık hastalıktır. Akut apandisit bazen karnın sol tarafı gibi atipik yerlerde karşımıza çıkabilir. Situs inversus totalisde akut apandisit tanısını koymada zorluk oluşturabilecek durumlardan biridir. Situs inversuslu hastalarda eğer daha önce hastalığın tanısı bilinmiyorsa apendiks normal pozisyonda yerleşmediğinden apandisitin tanısı zordur. Cerrahlar öncelikle sol alt kadran ağrısı yapan divertikülit, jinekolojik hastalıklar veya üriner patolojileri düşünürler. Direk grafi, ultrasonografi, bilgisayarlı tomografi hastalık tanısında yardımcı radyolojik yöntemlerdir. Direkt grafilerde dekstrokardi ve mide fundus gazının sağda izlendiği durumlarda hastalıktan şüphelenilmelidir. Situs inversuslu hastalarda daha iyi eksplorasyon sağlayarak ayırıcı tanıyı yapmak ve anatomik varyasyon olabileceği de göz önünde tutularak laparoskopik cerrahi yapılması önerilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda tetkik edildikten sonra akut apandisit tanısı konulan sitüs inversus totalisli kırk sekiz yaşında kadın hastanın tanı ve tedavi süreci literatür eşliğinde tartışıldı.

A rare acute abdomen case: Acute appendicitis in a patient with situs inversus totalis

Abstract

Acute appendicitis is the most frequent disease requiring urgent surgery in the world. It may sometimes occur in atypical locations, such as the lower left quadrant of the abdomen. If previously unknown, some conditions such as situs inversus totalis make diagnosing acute appendicitis difficult. In those cases, surgeons primarily consider diverticulitis, gynecological diseases, or urinary pathologies, which present with lower left quadrant pain. Direct abdominal radiography, ultrasonography and computed tomography are the auxiliary imaging methods in the diagnosis of the disease. Dextrocardia and the observation of the gastric fundus gas in the right quadrant in direct abdominal radiograph are key features of situs inversus totalis. Considering the anatomical variation, laparoscopic exploration is recommended in these patients. We hereby present a forty-eight-year-old female patient with situs inversus totalis who was diagnosed with acute appendicitis.
