Kartagener's syndrome is a very rare congenital disease consists of a classic triad, sinusitis, situs inversus and bronchiectasis. Approximately one half of patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia have situs inversus and Kartagener syndrome. We are presenting a case of Kartagener’s syndrome in a 10-year-old boy presented with chronic sinusitis leading to bilateral multiple nasal polyposis. He also had situs inversus and chronic bronchiectasis. He had undergone surgery two years back for nasal polyposis but now again presenting as recurrent nasal polyposis. In order to prevent the dreadful complications correct diagnosis in early life is very important in such patients.

Ciliary Dyskinesia

We report a rare case of Kartagener's Syndrome, congenital variety of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) with infertility. The patient exhibited the classical triad of which was elucidated by Manes Kartagener in 1933. The frequency of KS in the United States is 1 case per 32,000 live births. Situs inversus occurs randomly in half the patients with PCD; therefore, for every patient with KS, another patient has PCD but not situs inversus.  Current nomenclature classifies all congenital ciliary disorders as PCDs in order to differentiate them from acquired types. KS is part of the larger group of disorders referred to as PCDs. Approximately one half of patients with PCD have situs inversus and, thus, are classified as having KS.Keywords: Immotile cilia syndrome; Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD); Situs inversus; Chronic sinusitis; Bronchiectasis.DOI: 10.3126/ajms.v1i1.2605Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.1(1) 2010 p.16-17

AbstractSitus inversus is a congenital positional anomaly characterized by transposition of abdominal viscera and when associated with right sided heart (Dextrocardia) is referred to as Situs inversus totalis. It is not so uncommon congenital positional anomaly but can be a diagnostic problem at times. The case was detected in the Department of Anatomy, Gauhati Medical College during the routine dissection. Situs inversus was first described by Aristotle in animals and by Fabricius in humans. Its incidence has been reported between 1 in 4000 to 20,000 live births. The exact etiology is unknown but Autosomal recessive and X-linked inheritance have been reported. It can also occur in association with syndromes such as Kartagener syndrome or Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD). Many people with situs inversus totalis are unaware of their unusual anatomy until they seek medical attention for any condition.

Ciliary Dyskinesia

Kartagener’s syndrome (KS) is a rare, congenital condition characterized by situs inversus, rhinosinusitis, and bronchiectasis. An underlying ciliary dysfunction (e.g., immotility or dyskinetic beating) produces most of the clinical signs seen in affected animals. This case report reviews the history, clinical signs, and diagnosis of KS in a male, long-haired dachshund. This is the first known report of KS, and thus primary ciliary dyskinesia, in this breed of dog.

Ciliary Dyskinesia

Kartagener Syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder consisting of triad of sinusitis, bronchiectasis and situs inversus with dextrocardia. It is the subset of disorder called primary ciliary dyskinesia in which the cilia have abnormal structure and/or function resulting in multisystem diseases of various severity. Clinical manifestations include lifelong, chronic upper and lower respiratory tract diseases secondary to ineffective mucociliary clearance. Early diagnosis and management of chest infections can prevent irreversible damage to lungs and prevent potential lifelong complications. This case report is on a patient who presented with long standing history of sinusitis, bronchiectasis and on examination situs inversus with dextrocardia.Key Words:bronchiectasis, dextrocardia, kartagener syndrome, primary ciliary dyskinesia, situs inversus

Kartagener`s syndrome, a rare autosomal recessive disorder is a type of Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) associated situs inversus, bronchiectasis, sinusitis and male infertility. We present a case of a 5-year-old girl who came with features of bilateral glue ear, recurrent sinusitis, recurrent hemoptysis and dextrocardia. She was diagnosed to have Kartagener`s syndrome and was evaluated for recurrent hemoptysis.

Recurrent Nasal Polyposis

The diagnosis of cystic fibrosis is important to the otolaryngologist because of the association with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyposis. Eighty-five percent of patients are diagnosed under the age of 15, and diagnosis beyond age 20 is uncommon. We present two patients over 35 years of age in whom the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis was made during the course of workup and treatment for recurrent nasal polyposis and chronic sinusitis. To our knowledge, only one prior such case has been reported. This paper will provide a brief overview of the general aspects of the disease, discuss otolaryngic manifestations and management, and recommend indications for sweat testing in the adult.
