Diagnosis of Kartagener Syndrome: a Rare Case

Abstract

Kartagener syndrome is a rare case. We report a 6-year-old pediatric patient with complaints of cough and shortness of breath. The patient had history of patent ductus arterious (PDA) and situs inversus. The patient underwent a chest x-ray examination which revealed situs inversus and bronchopneumonia. Waters x-ray revealed maxillary sinusitis. The patient also underwent a computed tomography (CT) scan, which revealed right lung bronchiectasis and situs inversus. Based on the patient's history and radiological examination results, the patient was diagnosed with Kartagener syndrome.
