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.
