Chief complaints of the first case were chronic cough and expectoration and of the second case were chronic cough, expectoration and nasal stuffiness. Situs inversus, bronchiectasis and paranasal sinusitis were identified in both cases. EKG showed typical findings of mirror image compatible with dextrocardia in all two cases.
