Abstract
Situs inversus with dextrocardia is a rare congenital anomaly. Azoospermia and situs inversus may be encountered in ciliary dyskinesia syndromes. We report the case of a 30-year-old male who manifested situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia and azoospermia with maturation arrest at primary spermatogenesis who presented with liver abscess. The patient responded well to treatment with i.v. metronidazole and oral chloroquine.
