WHAT DOES HETEROTAXIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Situs ambiguus

Situs ambiguus or situs ambiguous, also known as heterotaxy or heterotaxia, is a rare congenital defect in which the major visceral organs are distributed abnormally within the chest and abdomen. The normal position of the organs is known as situs solitus; situs inversus is a condition in which the usual positions of the organs are reversed from left to right as a mirror image of the normal condition. If these are the two extreme positions on a continuum of asymmetric thoracic and abdominal organ formation, situs ambiguus covers everything in between. Both individuals with situs solitus and those with situs inversus generally have no functional impairments in their organ systems. In contrast, the mixing of organ asymmetries found in situs ambiguus often leads to severe and potentially fatal complications, usually of the heart or lungs.
