Abstract
Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the mirror-image arrangement of the thoracic and abdominal viscera. Although most patients remain asymptomatic, this condition presents a diagnostic challenge in the presence of cardiovascular disease. In patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis, pericardial effusion is a potentially serious complication that can progress to cardiac tamponade. The coexistence of both conditions necessitates timely diagnosis and an individualized therapeutic approach to improve prognosis.
