Kartagener's syndrome is a very rare congenital disease consists of a classic triad, sinusitis, situs inversus and bronchiectasis.Approximately one half of patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia have situs inversus and Kartagener syndrome. We arepresenting a case of Kartagener’s syndrome in a 10-year-old boy presented with chronic sinusitis leading to bilateral multiplenasal polyposis. He also had situs inversus and chronic bronchiectasis. He had undergone surgery two years back for nasalpolyposis but now again presenting as recurrent nasal polyposis. In order to prevent the dreadful complications correctdiagnosis in early life is very important in such patients.Keywords: sinusitis, primary ciliary dyskinesia, Kartagener's syndrome, situs inversus Bronchiectasis
