The Differentiation of Dextroversion from Dextroposition of the Heart and Their Relation to Pulmonary Abnormalities

S. Rogel M.D.1; A. Schwartz M.D.1; and J. Rakower M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Cardiovascular Unit, Department of Internal Medicine B, Diagnostic X-ray Department and Department of Chest Diseases, Hadassah University Hospital

The diagnosis of dextroversion of the heart is sometimes missed and erroneously interchanged with dextroposition, because of frequent, coexisting lung disease. By presenting six cases with different cardiac and/or pulmonary abnormalities, it is shown that dextroversion is a congenital malrotation of the heart with no etiologic relation to any associated cardiac or pulmonary, vascular or bronchial anomalies.
