Background:
Meningiomas (MGM) are common intracranial tumors, while complete situs inversus totalis (SIT) is an uncommon congenital anomaly. However, there are few documented cases of complete situs inversus coexisting with brain tumors, and particularly, there have been no reports on the relationship between surgically treated MGM and complete situs inversus.
Case Presentation:
A 52-year-old female, presenting with a 7-month headache history, worsening over the past 10 days, with new-onset left lower limb weakness. She reported difficulty lifting the left leg, dragging during ambulation, and a "stepping on cotton" sensation. No significant past medical history.
Conclusion:
This case highlights that the surgical approach must be determined based on the precise tumor-to-brain anatomy provided by 3D printing technology, while also accounting for the patient's complete situs inversus and dominant hand.
