Visceral heterotaxy – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/780273165

A congenital malformation in which the internal thoraco-abdominal organs demonstrate abnormal arrangement across the left-right axis of the body. Additional information: by convention, in congenital cardiology, heterotaxy syndrome does not include patients with complete mirror-imaged arrangement of the internal organs along the left-right axis also known as “situs inversus totalis”.
