Hi, there. Primary ciliary dyskinesia is also known as Kartagener syndrome. This is a rare genetic disorder. There is a deficiency of the movement of cilia in the respiratory tract and fallopian tubes. It can lead to many diseases, and among them there is sinusitis. Mucus clearance here is much compromised. Treatment is complicated and consists of medications like antibiotics are. If they do not help, then surgery is indicated. I hope this will help you. Bye!
