Sumario:This case report of a rare condition involving situs inversus partialis, wandering spleen, and a single atrium. Situs inversus partialis is a congenital developmental defect in which the abdominal or thoracic organs are reversed to the opposite side of the body across the sagittal plane. The case report highlights the congenital developmental anomaly and the diagnostic and management complexities associated with this condition. The patient in this case has survived to the age of 24, despite the presence of a single atrium. In the existing literature, situs inversus is a known congenital condition, but partial situs inversus is less common. A wandering spleen is also a rare condition characterized by splenic hypermobility. The combination of situs inversus partialis, a wandering spleen, and a single atrium is particularly unusual and has limited reported cases. Therefore, this research contributes to the existing literature by providing a unique case report and highlighting the challenges associated with diagnosis and management in such cases.
