Abstract:
This article reported two cases of pregnancy complicated by Kartagener syndrome treated at our institution. Both patients exhibited typical clinical features during pregnancy, such as cough and expectoration. They received individualized management, including airway clearance, expectorant therapy, postural drainage, inhalation of glucocorticoids, and antibiotic treatment. Both were successfully carried to full-term pregnancies. Case 1 was delivered vaginally, while Case 2 underwent cesarean delivery. The outcomes for both mother and child were favorable. Based on these two cases, it is concluded that the management of Kartagener syndrome during pregnancy should be individualized, particularly in genetic counseling, prenatal monitoring, and the selection of delivery methods, considering the patient's specific conditions and risks.
