[Visceral inversion, a problem of differential diagnosis (author's transl)].
5 patients with this anatomic abnormality are dealt with. In literature the frequency of visceral inversion is 1:10000. In the GDR this would mean a total of approximately 1700 persons living with visceral inversion. Correct diagnosis is based on clinical examination and X-ray of the thorax. The danger of false diagnosis is especially given in cases of acute abdominal illness.
