Abstract

The findings of this study did not support the hypothesis that situs inversus might predispose to left-handedness. However, the incidental finding of a high frequency of mental disorders in the histories of the patients studied adds evidence to that from previous authors that situs inversus totalis may predispose to such disorders.
