Swyer-James (Macleod s) Syndrome: A case report
Abstract :
44 year-old female patient with a history of cough pain and exercise induced dyspnea admitted to our clinic. The chest x-ray revealed hyperlucency of the left lung. Computerized tomography with increased aeration and decreased vascular structures were observed on the left lung. There was a diffuse matched ventilation/perfusion defect on the left lung. MR angiography showed hypoplastic left main pulmonary artery and its branches. The patient was diagnosed as Unilateral hyperlucent lung syndrome-Swyer- James (Macleod s) Syndrome . We wanted to present this rare case in the light of the current literature.
