TL;DR
The need to consider Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) in patients with chronic sinonasal disease and situs inversus, even without bronchiectasis, is highlighted.
Abstract
A 28-year-old man presented with chronic rhinosinusitis and bilateral nasal polyposis, and was found to have situs inversus totalis. This combination raised the suspicion of primary ciliary dyskinesia. Computed tomography showed features of allergic fungal rhinosinusitis with no bronchiectasis on chest imaging. As specialised testing was unavailable, the diagnosis could not be confirmed. This case report highlights the need to consider Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) in patients with chronic sinonasal disease and situs inversus, even without bronchiectasis

Background. In pediatric practice, there exists a rare and difficult-to-diagnose hereditary disorder known as Kartagener syndrome, which is a clinical manifestation of primary ciliary dyskinesia. A classic triad of signs characterizes this disease: situs inversus, chronic bronchiectasis, and chronic rhinosinusitis, lea...

This retrospective study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics of patients, and algorithm used to diagnose PCD in New South Wales between 2014 and 2024.
Nasal dermoid cysts (NDs) are common congenital midline nasal masses that may result in complications such as infection and obstruction. This report presents a rare case of a nasal dermoid cyst associated with a sincipital encephalocele (EPHC) in a pediatric patient, presenting clinically as acute dacryocystitis. Histo...
Simple Summary A young dog was presented with a lifelong history of chronic respiratory signs that partially improved with antibiotic treatment but repeatedly returned after therapy was stopped.
