Abstract
Situs inversus totalis (SIT) entails a mirror-image reversal of all the asymmetrical structures of the body. Many people with situs inversus are unaware of the condition. Kartagener′s syndrome (KS) is a subset of a larger group of ciliary motility disorders called primary ciliary dyskinesias, comprising a triad of situs inversus, bronchiectasis and sinusitis. We found 6 cases of Situs inversus totalis (SIT) over one year period among admitted patients in our department at ESIC MC PGIMSR and on evaluation 2patients were found to have Kartagener′s syndrome (KS). As the syndrome is rare we hereby report the manifestations and findings in detail
