    Abstract

    Kartagener's Syndrome (KS) is a group of ciliary motility disorders called primary ciliary dyskinesias (PCDs). It is a genetic condition with an autosomal recessive inheritance, with a triad of Sinusitis, Bronchiectasis and Situs Inversus. The case presented here proves that females with KS also can successfully conceive and carry pregnancy to term. However, they are likely to have respiratory complications during the course of their pregnancy. These complications eventually will subside post pregnancy and hence the patient has to be managed to reduce respiratory complications
