- Abstract
Cleft palate is one of the most common congenital defects, occurring alone or in combination with other malformations. Cleft palate with mirror-image dextrocardia and situs inversus viscerums is rare. This paper presented a case of incomplete cleft palate patient with mirror-image dextrocardia and situs inversus viscerums. The patient had a family history of cleft palate and had no family history of congenital heart disease. He was found to have congenital heart disease during preoperative assessment. Without intracardiac malformation, the patient was routinely operated under general anesthesia. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and was discharged 8 days after operation. Further investigation is needed whether multiple defects in this patient are independent diseases or a part of possible recessive syndrome.
