The grandmother lived 99 years with reversed organs, shocking when she donated the body to medicine

All the students performing the surgery did not dare to believe their eyes.
Medical student shocked with the body of a mutant

It happened in early 2018 at the Oregon College of Health and Science in Portland, Oregon (USA). 26-year-old medical student Warren Nielsen and four friends in the group prepare to perform the surgery of the donated body in the autopsy room. The body that the Nielsen group operated on was that of Rose Marie Bentley, who died in 2017 at the age of 99. Rose died of natural causes, not illness or accident. Before her death, she expressed her wish to donate her body to medicine. The woman with visceral reversal and was the longest living person with the condition ever recorded. But as soon as she operated the donated body of Mrs. Bentley, Warren Nielsen and his group were very shocked. They felt something was very strange because what they saw seemed completely contrary to the theory learned in the syllabus. “ I know something happened, but it took us a while to determine the composition of her organs “, says Cameron Walker anatomy professor at the Oregon College of Health and Science. “ Bentley’s veins are on the left side, instead of pouring directly into the heart. Her veins continued across the diaphragm, along the thoracic vertebrae, up and around on the aorta before pouring into the right side of the heart. Our normal bodies are never like that “, Walker explained. A live image of Mrs. Bentley. It was not the only anomaly that surgeon Cameron Walker and his students found in Mrs. Bentley’s body. Her right lung had only two lobes, instead of the usual three, while her heart’s right atrium was twice the size of normal. A series of questions were asked: Why is Mrs. Bentley’s stomach on the right side and not the left side? Her liver is on the left, not the right side? Likewise, is the spleen on the right side instead of the left and organs that should be in the abdomen found in the chest cavity? And there are many other abnormalities inside the body, including part of the stomach protruding from the diaphragm and strange veins … Why? The cause of Bentley’s internal upheaval may come from a congenital condition called Situs inversus – in which most of the vital organs are reversed, almost like a mirror inside the body. The picture shows abnormalities in the internal position of Mrs. Bentley. That, along with a host of other bizarre anomalies, make Mrs. Bentley a “mutant” and it will make her name recorded in the history of world literature. This strange mutation can occur between days 30 and 45 of pregnancy, he added, but no one knows why. It is estimated that for every 10,000-22,000 births, only one will experience Situs inversus. Due to heart defects, only 5% to 13% of those children live beyond the age of 5 years. Records have been documented in a boy who lived to the age of 13 and one who lived until the age of 73. The reversal of the internal organs will affect the health of the person who has it, so the majority of children with Situs inversus do not survive to adulthood. So the fact that Mrs. Bentley lived to the age of 99 is almost an unbelievable miracle. Mutants with normal life Photo: Internet Mrs. Bentley has 5 children, 14 grandchildren, 31 great-grandchildren and 11 children, but no one, not even the 99-year-old old lady, knows about the strange mystery inside her body. Louise Allee, one of Mrs. Bentley’s five children, shared that her mother was a lover of science. Perhaps that is the reason why Mrs. Bentley decided to dedicate her body to research. “ My mom will think that’s a great thing she can do. She will smile in heaven when she learns about her difference, especially when the difference is so meaningful. “Said Louise Allee. An image of a young Mrs. Bentley. “ Despite suffering from chronic heartburn (possibly due to the abnormal stomach position) my mother never complained of any discomfort in her body. We have no reason to believe there was such a strange thing in my mother’s body. My mother is always very healthy. She often took us to Campfire Girls, fishing, swimming. My mother deserves to be a great swimmer “Mrs. Bentley’s third child, Ginger Robbins, said. In fact, there was a time when a doctor was unable to locate the appendix for Mrs. Bentley. At that time, the doctor only noted the family that her appendix was in an unusual position. The doctor also did not check on other organs, so things gradually went into oblivion.
