An intriguing case of a 28-year-old woman with chronic respiratory symptoms and situs inversus. Ultrastructural analysis by electron microscopy is a highlight in the discovery of a rare syndrome. A lesson in complex diagnostics! @cime_conicet, @virkinal

4️⃣ This showed ciliary structural defects, confirming a rare Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD). 5️⃣ A powerful reminder of how advanced microscopy contributes to clinical medicine.

1️⃣ Years of recurrent infections finally pointed to something unusual. 2️⃣ Imaging revealed situs inversus — organs mirrored from their normal position. 3️⃣ The diagnostic breakthrough came from ultrastructural analysis by electron microscopy 🔬.
