Abstract
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 12-year-old boy who came with features of
bilateral glue ear, recurrent sinusitis, adenotonsillitis, obstructive sleep apnea and situ inversus. He was diagnosed to have
Kartagener`s syndrome and was treated with bilateral grommet insertion, bilateral antral lavage and adenotonsillectomy to
alleviate his symptoms.
