Act

Kartagener was mainly concerned with bronchiectasis , a sack-like or cylindrical expansion of the bronchi . In his work on bronchiectasis, Kartagener described seven cases of situs inversus , an anatomical anomaly in which the organs are mirror-inverted in the body. In people with primary ciliary dyskinesia (as a feature of the Kartagener syndrome named after Manes Kartagener ), the situs inversus occurs in about half of the patients. The Kartagener syndrome (a triad of sinusitis / polyposis, bronchiectasis and situs inversus) was first described by Kartagener in 1933.
