The case report of a 12 year female adolescent who presented repeated breathing infections and bronchial obstruction, with a situs inversus, bronquiectasia and sinusitis is described; as well as recurrent pneumonia, bronchitis and bronchial hiperreactivity patterns. Taking into account these particularities and the complementary tests results, including the computed tomographic scan and the thorax x-ray, the Kartagener syndrome was diagnosed. Due to the uncommon of its presentation these findings are shared with the scientific community in general
