Introduction The Kartagener syndrome KS comprises a triad of situs inversus, bronchiectasis and paranasal sinusitis, which is named after Dr. Leigh 47 Estimated H-index: The bronchial artery index is used to identify it and should normally be enfwrmedad to 1; however, it may increase during vasoconstriction or be normal during pulmonary hypertension.
KS is part of the PKD spectrum related to an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects ciliary krtagener and predisposes to problems of laterality, rhinosopulmonary infections and impaired fertility.
To improve our services and products, we use “cookies” own or third parties authorized to show advertising related to client preferences through the analyses of navigation customer behavior. We report the case of a woman with bronchiectasis, sinusitis and situs inversus diagnosed of Kartagener’s syndrome based on clinical signs at age 75 years.

Case reports
Sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing primary ciliary dyskinesia. Paranasal sinus dw with thickening of the mucosal lining, partially occupied by a soft tissue density mass. Continuing navigation will be encermedad as acceptance of this use. A congenital ciliar abnormality as an etiogenic factor in chronic airway infections and male sterility.
Situs abnormality in enfermeedad with lower lobe bronchiectasis should prompt the diagnosis of Kartagener syndrome. Patho genesis, imaging, diagnostic approach. Prompt, appropriate treatment of respiratory infections can minimize irreversible lung damage. Med Clin Barc, pp. CT tends to demonstrate bronchiectasis which may be variable in severity. The movement of the fluid allows for different substance concentrations which accumulate on one side only and, therefore, for the expression of different genes in each hemi-embryo.

According to the classification proposed by Reid 15bronchiectasis is divided into cystic, cylindrical and varicose. Case 1 Case 1.
