    Abstract:
    Primary ciliary dyskinesia is a rare etiology of sterility in man (prevalence between 1/6000 and 1/40000). Kartagener's syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by total or partial dysfunction of the ciliary or flagellated cells. This syndrome associates situs inversus, sinusitis, bronchiectasis and occasionally sterility in males. We report a case of immotile cilia syndrome with male infertility and compare the data with four other couples reported in the literature (two couples in Germany, two in the United States). The difficulty is to select an alive sperm cell for ICSI.
