A Medical Imaging Diagnosis of a Rare Association of Kartagener Syndrome, Common Mesentery, Left Isomerism: A Case Report in Niamey (NIGER)
Main Article Content
Abstract
Kartagener's syndrome, defined by the situs inversus-bronchiectasis-chronic sinusitis triad, is in 50% of cases associated with PCD, which can be responsible for numerous visceral positional defects ranging from complete situs inversus to ambiguous situs (isomerism) which is characterized by enormous organ lateralization defects during embryogenesis with one or more organs in symmetry or even duplicated. All these abnormalities can only be diagnosed with certainty with the help of medical imaging examinations, more specifically CT. We report here the case of a 67-year-old male patient admitted for radiological workup for cough, and sinus syndrome to whom the diagnosis of kartagener syndrome (situs inversus-dilatation of the bronchi-chronic pan sinusitis) associated with a mesentery common, left isomerism (left lung isomerism and polysplenia) was done.
