Clinical case: A 67-year-old woman, mother of seven living children who were reportedly in good health, had a nearly 10-year history of hypertension with irregular follow-up and no other known medical history. She was referred to the Cardiology Department of Souro Sanon University Hospital for cardiovascular evaluation as part of a routine health assessment. A standard electrocardiogram showed electrical abnormalities suggestive of situs inversus totalis or dextrocardia. Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography, chest radiography, and additional imaging confirmed incidentally discovered situs inversus totalis without another associated congenital malformation. The patient was leading a normal life. Her antihypertensive treatment was adjusted, and regular follow-up was recommended.
