Recurrent Nasal Polyposis

Kartagener's syndrome is a very rare congenital disease consists of a classic triad, sinusitis, situs inversus and bronchiectasis. Approximately one half of patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia have situs inversus and Kartagener syndrome. We are presenting a case of Kartagener’s syndrome in a 10-year-old boy presented with chronic sinusitis leading to bilateral multiple nasal polyposis. He also had situs inversus and chronic bronchiectasis. He had undergone surgery two years back for nasal polyposis but now again presenting as recurrent nasal polyposis. In order to prevent the dreadful complications correct diagnosis in early life is very important in such patients.

AbstractSitus inversus is a congenital positional anomaly characterized by transposition of abdominal viscera and when associated with right sided heart (Dextrocardia) is referred to as Situs inversus totalis. It is not so uncommon congenital positional anomaly but can be a diagnostic problem at times. The case was detected in the Department of Anatomy, Gauhati Medical College during the routine dissection. Situs inversus was first described by Aristotle in animals and by Fabricius in humans. Its incidence has been reported between 1 in 4000 to 20,000 live births. The exact etiology is unknown but Autosomal recessive and X-linked inheritance have been reported. It can also occur in association with syndromes such as Kartagener syndrome or Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD). Many people with situs inversus totalis are unaware of their unusual anatomy until they seek medical attention for any condition.
