A Rare Case of Dextrocardia With Atrioventricular Septal Defect and Situs Inversus in an 8‐Month‐Old Infant Complicated by Severe Acute Malnutrition

The key clinical message in this case report highlights the rare coexistence of situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia, atrioventricular septal defect, and severe acute malnutrition in an Ethiopian infant. It underscores the need for heightened awareness, timely diagnosis, and integrated management strategies for such complex congenital and nutritional disorders and emphasizes the need for early surgical referral in resource-limited settings, as delayed intervention worsens outcomes.

Abstract

The key clinical message in this case report highlights the rare coexistence of situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia, atrioventricular septal defect, and severe acute malnutrition in an Ethiopian infant. It underscores the need for heightened awareness, timely diagnosis, and integrated management strategies for such complex congenital and nutritional disorders and emphasizes the need for early surgical referral in resource-limited settings, as delayed intervention worsens outcomes.
