Kartageners syndrome

Case contributed by: Dr Frank Gaillard

From the case: Kartageners syndrome

Modality: X-ray

Case Discussion:

Neonatal chest x-ray (left sided marker confirmed) demonstrates dextrocardia and complete situs inversus. This would include position of the IVC and the aorta given the positions of the umbilical lines. The lungs show improved aeration but persistent prominence of the perihilar interstitium. No air leak is noted.

Eventually found to be Kartagener syndrome.
