  • Title: Dyskinetic cilia syndrome: clinical, radiographic and scintigraphic findings.
    Author: Reyes de la Rocha S, Pysher TJ, Leonard JC.
    Journal: Pediatr Radiol; 1987; 17(2):97-103. PubMed ID: 3550672.
    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 this procedure.
