A baby was born in July in a village of Rahimyar Khan district with his heart and spleen on the right side while his liver is on the left side. Otherwise he is seems normal.

"I found the heart and spleen on the right side and liver on left side of a one-month old baby, Abdul Basit son of Abdul Waheed Mazari, when he was brought to my clinic for check up," said Dr Ikramullah, specialist in children diseases.

He said that Abdul Basit was born in July in a nearby village in a normal delivery. His parents were confused when they did not feel his heartbeat and they took him to a private clinic.

The paediatrist also found heartbeat missing. Then he checked his right side and felt the heartbeat. During ultra-sonography it came to his knowledge that his spleen and heart are on right side while his liver is on left side.
