To remember Kartagener's syndrome read it as CART-A-GENERal - The story of General transporting his sweetHEART ( wife ) in a cart. The sweetHEART is sitting to his right ( Represents DEXTROCARDIA - HEART to right ). Note that General has a red stuffy nose and still smoking smoking, he has SINUSITIS and BRONHIECTASIS. Note the grass through which he drives is moving as the cart passes. The grass resembles CILIA ( ABNORMAL CILIARY MOVEMENTS are seen in this syndrome ). The couple has no children to drive the cart ( Represents STERILITY ). So the features of this syndrome are:
Dextrocardia
Sinusitis
Broncheictasis
Abnormal ciliary movement
Sterility
