Kartagener's syndrome (KS) usually includes mirror‐image dextrocardia. The incidence of congenital heart disease in KS is comparable with that in the general population. This paper reports on a case of Kartagener's syndrome associated with dextrocardia, corrected transposition of the great arteries (I, D, D), ventricular septal defect, and valvar pulmonary stenosis in an 8‐year‐old girl.
