Ventricular septal defect and Swyer-James (Macleod's) syndrome together: a case report
Abstract:
Swyer-James (MacLeod's) syndrome is a rare entity that is characterized by the hyperlucent appearance of one or more lobes of one lung, diminished ipsilateral hilar shadow and hardly visible arterial structure on chest radiography. Ventricular septal defect is the most common childhood congenital heart defect and, if left untreated, this will result to irreversible pulmonary hypertension, reversing of the shunt and Eisenmenger's syndrome. In this case report, we describe a 19-year-old female patient who had diagnosis of VSD and Swyer-James syndrome at the same time.
