Abstract
Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome (SJMS), or unilateral hyperlucent lung syndrome, is a rare disease thought to be associated with post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans (1). This disease was first described in 1953 by Swyer and James in a 6-year-old child who had been treated with pneumonectomy (2). MacLeod presented a unilateral hyperlucency series one year later. From this date on, the disease was defined as Swyer-JamesMacLeod syndrome (SJMS) (3). This disorder is diagnosed in children with recurrent pulmonary infection or in asymptomatic adult cases during radiological examinations. The characteristic radiological findings include unilateral air trapping, hyperlucency signs, small or normal sized lungs, and a decrease in the number and dimensions of the pulmonary vessels (3).
