Synonyms
- Dyskinetic cilia syndrome
- Immotile cilia syndrome: Misnomer as ciliary motion is present but abnormal
Definitions
- Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD)
- Genetic disorder causing ciliary defects and impaired mucociliary clearance
- Mucociliary dysfunction and chronic otosinopulmonary disease
- Abnormalities of situs in 50% of cases
- Kartagener syndrome
- Triad of situs inversus, sinusitis &/or nasal polyposis, and bronchiectasis
- 50% of patients with PCD
- Kartagener-Afzelius syndrome
- Kartagener described sinusitis, bronchiectasis, and situs inversus
- Afzelius described associated infertility; structural abnormalities of motile cilia and sperm
- Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD)
