TORRES-RODRIGUEZ, Servio Tulio; REYES-ZUNIGA, Karla Marleny; CHANG-CASTILLO, Iván Estuardo y HERRERA-CRUZ, Danilo. Swyer James MacLeod Syndrome. Case report of hyperlucid lung. Neumol. cir. torax [online]. 2022, vol.81, n.4, pp.253-255. Epub 19-Feb-2024. ISSN 0028-3746. https://doi.org/10.35366/112955.
Introduction:
respiratory infections in childhood can eventually lead to rare diseases such as Swyer James MacLeod syndrome, which, although it does not have a defined etiology, has been associated with these respiratory antecedents. Reports a prevalence of 0.01% of 17,450 chest X-ray.
Clinical case:
we report the case of a young woman who consults for chest pain without irradiation and that imaging studies show greater radiolucency of the left lung, in addition to this, respiratory function tests point to a restrictive process; leading to the diagnosis of this rare syndrome.
Conclusions:
Swyer James MacLeod syndrome is a clinic-radiological entity that is usually asymptomatic and its diagnosis can be considered an incidental finding.
