The common use of x-ray and physical examinations for the Army, schools, and industry have uncovered many cases and have established this incidence as reasonably accurate. Of considerably less frequent occurrence than situs inversus totalis is situs inversus partialis, involving a single viscus. Dextrocardia is the most common example of partial situs inversus.
