Abstract:
Swyer-James-MacLeod Syndrome is a rare obliterative lung disease typically caused by childhood infection resulting in arrested pulmonary development. Imaging findings include unilateral hyperlucency on chest x-ray, and hyperlucency, hypovascularity and expiratory gas trapping on computed tomography. Recognition of abnormal imaging can lead to earlier diagnosis and institution of appropriate management.
