The middle lobe is usually a part of the right lung as it is tri-lobar in normal anatomy. In patients with Kartagener's syndrome, the middle lobe belongs to the left lung due to situs inversus. They are prone to develop bronchiectasis due to ciliary dyskinesia and bronchial anatomy of the middle lobe. We hereby report an interesting case of left middle lobectomy done in a patient with Kartagener's syndrome with bronchiectasis.
中叶通常是右肺的一部分,因为在正常解剖结构中右肺是三叶的。在患有卡塔格内综合征的患者中,由于内脏转位,中叶属于左肺。由于纤毛运动障碍和中叶的支气管解剖结构,他们容易发生支气管扩张。我们在此报告一例对患有支气管扩张的卡塔格内综合征患者进行左肺中叶切除术的有趣病例。
