Bronchiolitis as a feature of Kartagener syndrome A case report

Abstract

Summary: Kartagener syndrome (KS), also known as immotile cilia syndrome or as a primary ciliary dyskinesia, is characterized by the triad of situs inversus, bronchiectasis, and chronic pansinusitis. A few studies reported that diffuse bronchiolitis might be one of the characteristic features of the lung in KS. We aimed to present the radiologic characteristics of KS, including diffuse bronchiolitis, sinus aplasia, and situs inversus totalis in a single case.
