Kartagener syndrome (KS), an autosomal recessively inherited disease, is characterized by the triad of situs inversus, bronchiectasis and sinusitis. This disorder affects the activity of proteins important to the movement of cilia, especially in the respiratory tract and the spermatozoa, developing a series of systemic alterations, which can be diagnosed through radiographic examination. The aim of this paper is to describe a clinical case of this unusual pathology, including a brief literature review, emphasising the radiographic aspects of this pathology and stressing the importance of early diagnosis, which could be determined by an oral radiologist.
卡塔格内综合征（KS）是一种常染色体隐性遗传病，其特征为内脏转位、支气管扩张和鼻窦炎三联征。这种疾病会影响对纤毛运动很重要的蛋白质的活性，尤其是在呼吸道和精子中，从而引发一系列全身性改变，可通过影像学检查进行诊断。本文旨在描述这一罕见病症的一个临床病例，包括简要的文献综述，着重阐述该病症的影像学特征，并强调早期诊断的重要性，早期诊断可由口腔放射科医生确定。
