Abstract

The paper presents and discusses the observation of an anomaly of the intrathoracic location of the heart: a leftformed right-sided heart with a reverse position of all internal organs (situs viscerum inversus totalis) in a 24-yearold man. This observation in 1829 was described by thean outstanding Russian anatomist, doctor of medicine and surgery, honored professor of anatomy of the Imperial Medical-Surgical Academy I.V. Buyalsky (1789–1866). Analysis of his original article, first introduced by us into scientific circulation (previously we met only two works in which I.V. Buyalsky and his article were mentioned), showed that this description was the first in Russia and one of the first in the world descriptions of an anomaly of the intrathoracic location of the heart (dexstrocardia). Also one of the first in the world and the first in Russia I.V. Buyalsky described asplenia. The article contains a brief scientific biography of I.V. Buyalsky and the modern pathoanatomical description of dextrocardia with situs viscerum inversus totalis in the form of an organ preparation made in 2012 at the pathological department of the Bakoulev National Medical Research Center for Cardiovascular Surgery of Russia, with a description and illustration of concomitant congenital heart defects.
