Dyskinetic cilia syndrome: clinical, radiographic and scintigraphic findings

Abstract: The clinical, electron microscopic and radiographic data of 9 patients with dyskinetic cilia syndrome (DCS) are presented. Scintigraphic evaluation of mucociliary dynamics in six patients showed evidence of dyskinesia. Ventilation and perfusion studies were performed to evaluate obstructive lung disease. Retrospectively, bronchiectasis could be detected in 77% of the patients by analysis of the chest radiograph and lung scintigraphy, and bronchography potentially avoided in the seven patients who underwent thi… Show more

“…As they are deep structures, the anatomical study of the frontal sinuses was difficult for a long time: the frontal bone needed to be sawn or drilled until X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm R€ ontgen in 1895. A strong genetic determination has been observed in some family samples, particularly in cases of absence (Blandino and Longo, 1956;Caggioli, 1961;Holmes and Walton, 1969), even if differences have been reported in the frontal sinuses of monozygotic twins (Asherson, 1963); several congenital syndromes have been identified involving the morphology of the frontal sinuses and their absence (Mocellin, 1968;Holmes and Walton, 1969;Reyes de la Rocha et al, 1987). The existence of a sexual dimorphism mentioned by some authors, in particular larger frontal sinuses in males than females, remains controversial (Szilvassy, 1981(Szilvassy, , 1982Yoshino et al, 1987;Harris et al, 1987a, b;Ponde et al, 2008;Goyal et al, 2013).…”

“…These variations and the almost unique morphology of the frontal sinuses for each individual are useful for personal identification in forensic medicine (Schuller, 1921;Yoshino et al, 1987;Harris et al, 1987a, b;Kullman et al, 1990;Quatrehomme et al, 1996;Nambiar et al, 1999;Cameriere et al, 2008;David and Saxena, 2010;Patil et al, 2012).

Various intracranial constraints seem also to modify the sinusal morphology (Auque et al, 1987).…”

“…Clinical and radiographic evidence of bronchiectasis develops as the disease progresses. A recent study of high resolution CT (HRCT) imaging confirmed previous radiographic studies, identifying that bronchiectasis predominates in middle and lower lobes in more than 50% of pediatric and all adult patients [24,33,34]. Airway calcification has recently been identified as a novel finding in older PCD patients [35].…”

“…Bronchiectasis (particularly in the right middle lobe), mucus plugging (Fig. 5), atelectasis, and consolidation are also frequent (Nadel et al 1985;Fauré et al 1986;Reyes de La Rocha et al 1987). HRCT is currently used to monitor the disease progression despite the fact that CT monitoring affects poorly pulmonary outcome in PCD (Barbato et al 2009).…”
