Radiological examinations revealed the presence of an abdominal situs inversus with dilated proximal small intestine handles. At laparotomy, abdominal situs inversus, polysplenia, multiple jejunal atresia with apple peel appearance of the ileum and malrotation were observed.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 10px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Merriweather, serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: bold;">Conclusion:</strong><span> </span>The combination of situs inversus, polysplenia and complex jejunal atresia is very rare. Preoperative diagnosis of situs inversus is important for proper placement of incisions and better planning of surgical management.</p>
