Chronic tonsillitis is a inflammatory lesion of pharynx most commonly affecting children in the first decade of life. Situs inversus totalis is a rare congenital condition occurring with an incidence of 1:5000 to 1: 10000 in which there is mirror image transposition of both the abdominal and thoracic visera . The etiology of occurance of situs inversus totalis is still unknown, such individuals are generally asymptomatic and have a normal life expectancy and the condition may go unnoticed for years. We describe the first reported case of situs inversus totalis with dextrocardia in a teenage patient with chronic tonsillitis.
