Situs inversus totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital anomaly, which is usually detected accidentally while investigating for any associated condition. If undetected, this condition can create a diagnostic puzzle (1, 2). In this case, the diagnosis of situs inversus totalis in a patient with acute cholecystitis was made following clinical examination and radiological investigation.
