Sammanfattning

Situs inversus is a medical condition with transposition of the organs in chest and abdomen. The condition may cause misdiagnosis due to inverted location of the origin of acute abdominal pain in cases of e.g. acute appendicitis. In this case report, the condition was first found on a CT scan for urolithiasis. It was also visible on a previously performed X-ray of the patient’s chest, where both the apex of the patient’s heart and the apex of a jewelry heart were located to the patient’s right side. If this is not a unique incident, we propose this finding to be named “goldsmith’s sign”.
