[X-ray diagnosis of Sivert-Kartagener's syndrome]

Clinico-roentgenological data of 11 patients with Sivert-Kartagener's syndrome are analysed. Five patients were operated on during childhood for chronic relapsing pulmonary pathology. The used roentgenological methods included x-ray of the thorax, bilateral bronchography, x-ray of the paranasal sinuses. Detailed roentgenological data on this syndrome are of major practical significance due to surgical methods of treatment of purulent bronchiectasia after preliminary sanation of the paranasal sinuses.
