Summary

 We encountered a case of immotile cilia syndrome(ICS) with severe respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension. A 48-year-old male who had been treated as having bronchial asthma by his local doctor was referred to our hospital with marked respiratory failure. Chest X-P and CT revealed diffuse nodular shadows in both lung fields and marked enlargement of the pulmonary trunks. Although spirometry showed severe obstructive ventilatory impairment, complete reversibility of airway obstruction was not attained after inhalation of bronchodilator. Since the patient along with his brothers suffered from male sterility and also had chronic sinusitis, ICS was suspected. On bronchofiberscopy, a lot of mucoid impaction was detected in each bronchi, so bronchial biopsy was performed for pathological diagnosis. By electron microscopic observation of bronchial mucous epithelium, dynein arm defects were found. Additionally, as his sperm was immotile, the diagnosis of ICS was confirmed.
