Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a genetically, autosomal-recessive disorder that is caused by abnormal ciliary ultrastructure and function and is a fairly rare condition with a prevalence of 1 in 20,000 live births. Fifty percent of PCD is Kartagener’s syndrome, characterized by bronchiectasis, sinusitis, and complete situs inversus. In conclusion, primary ciliary dyskinesia and Kartegener's syndrome should be considered as a possible diagnosis in young patients with lower and upper respiratory tract infections. Clinical and radiological features of the two cases are presented here. These findings and the related literature are discussed.

Keywords: Kartagener's syndrome, primary ciliar dyskinesia, bronchiectasis
