Abstract

Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by impaired ciliary function. The incidence of PCD is 1 in 20,000 births. Kartagener's syndrome (KS), a subtype of PCD, is distinguished by the presence of situs inversus. KS occurs in about 1 in 32,000 to 40,000 births. Characterized by a triad of situs inversus totalis, sinusitis, and typically lower lobe bronchiectasis, Kartagener's syndrome presents with distinct radiological features, which are explored in this case study. We report on an adolescent male with Kartagener's syndrome, manifesting atypical bronchiectasis in the left upper lobe, leading to a bilateral lung transplant, and severe pectus excavatum requiring surgical correction. This case documents a male patient with concurrent Kartagener's syndrome and pectus excavatum, supporting a previously explored, albeit theoretical association between these conditions.
