Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Primary ciliary dyskinesia
Radiologic Findings
Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a chronic lung disease caused by defects in ciliary structure. It has heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive trait with a prevalence of approximately 1/12,000-1/60,000. Individuals with primary ciliary dyskinesia have abnormal or absent ciliary motion and cannot move mucus out of the respiratory passages leading to airway damage and increasing the risk for the development of bronchiectasis. In 50% of patients, situs inversus can be associated and Kartagener's syndrome, a subset of primary ciliary dyskinesia, includes triad of situs inversus, bronchiectasis, and sinusitis. Common symptoms of primary ciliary dyskinesia are chronic rhinitis, recurrent or chronic sinusitis, recurrent or chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, olfactory impairment, and infertility.
The diagnosis is complex and based on suggestive clinical findings, pathologic study for ultrastructural ciliary defect, nasal NO measurement and/or genetic anaylsis. CT typically shows varicose bronchiectasis, a chronic volume loss, a tree in bud pattern, and mucous plugging. Later, a predominance of bronchiectasis in the middle and lower lung lobes is typical
The treatment includes airway clearance therapy, antibiotics, bronchodilators, steroids and mucus thinners (mucolytics). Lung transplantation is an option for severe, advanced lung disease.
