Key Points

Abnormal cardiac positioning identified incidentally, and physician recognition is crucial for proper management.
A 37-year-old man with chronic cough was found to have mesocardia on imaging, which is rare and important for diagnosis.
Assessment using chest imaging led to the discovery of mesocardia and upper thoracic scoliosis in the patient.
Highlights the need for awareness in recognizing mesocardia to inform appropriate diagnostic approaches in routine radiographs.

Implication

Case report reveals midline heart anomaly with chronic cough in a man, highlighting recognition of cardiac positioning.

Abstract

A 37‐year‐old man presenting with chronic cough was incidentally found to have mesocardia on chest imaging, with a midline heart and associated upper thoracic scoliosis. Further tests revealed eosinophilic asthma, treated successfully. This rare, isolated mesocardia case highlights the importance of recognising abnormal cardiac positioning on routine radiographs.
