A rare case report of Mirizzi syndrome type III treatment algorithm in situs inversus totalis, large ventricular septal defect and transposition of great arteries in a young diabetic patient.

Abstract

Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare condition in which cardiac and abdominal organs are inverted from their normal left-sided orientation. Mirizzi syndrome, characterized by the obstruction of the common hepatic duct or the common bile duct by gallstone, is a rare condition. Mirizzi syndrome co-occurrence in SIT patients is rare. Gallbladder in sinistroposition is extremely uncommon in SIT patients. We report a known case of diabetes, ventricular septal defect with transposition of the great arteries in a 32-year-old female who presented with jaundice, cholangitis, chills, and fever that had lasted for 10 days. She was confirmed to have SIT with type III Mirizzi syndrome following a series of diagnostic procedures. Primarily, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography along with common bile duct stenting was performed to initially reduce cholangitis. After an eight-week follow-up after the reduction of cholangitis, surgery was conducted. Mirror-imaged ports were used for the laparoscopic procedure, and the surgeon was on the patient's right side rather than the usual left side. The patient was discharged from the hospital following two days of uneventful healing.
