Abstract

Kartagener’s syndrome is a rare congenital disorder consisting of sinusitis, bronchiectasis with situs inversus and is associated with infertility. It is the subgroup of disorder called primary ciliary dyskinesia in which well defined morphological or functional abnormalities of cilia result in sinopulmonary involvement with varying severity. Clinical manifestations involve chronic and/or recurrent respiratory infections with much heterogeneity in multisystem involvement. Early diagnosis and management of this condition help to prevent irreversible lung damage and prevent chronic lifelong sequelae.
