Kartagener syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by a triad of chronic bronchorrhea with bronchiectasis, chronic sinusitis and situs inversus. It is part of a syndrome of primary ciliary immobility called primary ciliary dyskinesia. Imaging is the key examination in the workup of Kartagener's syndrome and is usually discovered during a CT scan. The treatment is essentially symptomatic and preventive based on the treatment of episodes of respiratory superinfections, physiotherapy for bronchial drainage and anti-influenza and anti-pneumococcal vaccinations. We report a case of Kartagener's syndrome collected in the radiology department of the emergency room.
