    Image flipped horizontally. Wrong marker used by radiographer - should have used "L" instead of "R". X-ray seems unremarkable.

    Clues are:
    • Gastric air bubble
    • Elevated diaphragm superior to liver

    dextrocardia + gastric bubble on right side + liver on lt side ( lt hemidiaphragm higher ) = situs inversus totalis

    heart and stomach gas on the right side . liver on the left side.
    findings are consistent with situs inversus totalis

    This was a good reply in my opinion; at least you justified your answer (although grasping with the whole radiographer did it wrong - no offence). Just make sure you know what situs inversus is; that way you have two differentials now for the image =P

    yes, i agree dat was a very brilliant answer from flight medic ( even bb100 may not hav thought about it, right away P: ).

    i think it is the ( alleged ;-) ) - "situs inversus totalis" dat led him to think that away....as opposed to situs inversus with levocardia ( situs inversus incompletus ).

    So, in honor of "Flightmedic" it is only proper to hav differentials rather dan a diagnosis to dis challenge.

    so d 2 differentials to dis post shud be

    1) the doc screwed it up ( good prognosis ) [​IMG]
    2) G0d screwed it up ( bad prognosis ) (N)
