Abstract
Swyer–James–Macleod syndrome (SJMS) is an acquired, rare lung disease with a prevalence of around 0.01%. It is characterized radiologically by unilateral hyperlucent lung with decreased number and diameter of the peripheral pulmonary vessels. The patients usually present with dyspnea on exertion and cough since childhood after a lung infection. Conservative management is the main stray of treatment. These are usually under-recognized and can be the cause of improper treatment. Here, we present a case of difficult-to-treat asthma who had underlying SJMS which leads to persistent symptoms even after adequate treatment.
