In pediatric radiology, encountering rare anatomical variations alongside acute respiratory conditions presents unique diagnostic challenges. Situs inversus totalis, a congenital condition where major visceral organs are reversed from their normal positions, requires careful interpretation of radiological findings, particularly when complicated by acute respiratory infections. This case study examines a 3-month-old male patient presenting with significant respiratory symptoms and the radiological implications of this anatomical variation.

Pediatric respiratory infections remain one of the most common reasons for emergency department visits worldwide. Understanding chest X-ray patterns in young children is crucial for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning. This case study examines a three-year-old female patient presenting with acute respiratory symptoms, focusing on the radiological findings and their clinical implications.
