Abstract
Kartagener's syndrome (KS) usually includes mirror-image dextrocardia. The incidence of congenital heart disease in KS is comparable with th at in the general population. This paper reports on a case of Kartagen er's syndrome associated with dextrocardia, corrected transposition of the great arteries (I,D,D), ventricular septal defect, and valvar pul monary stenosis in an 8-year-old girl.
