Woman born with organs on wrong side of body goes undiagnosed for 14 years

A woman born with her organs on the wrong side of her body wasn't diagnosed with the rare condition for 14 years.

Olesya Kulikova, 27, suffered for years with a number of medical issues until doctors eventually diagnosed her with situs inversus totalis, an abnormality which is characterised by a mirror reversal of the essential organs.

Only one in 10,000 people are born with the condition and Olesya, from Achinsk, Russia, has spoken out to raise awareness after only being diagnosed in 2009.
