Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome or unilateral hyperlucent lung syndrome is a rare disease characterised by hypoplasia of the pulmonary artery, unilateral hyperlucent lung and usually bronchiectasis. The syndrome was first described by Swyer and James in 1953 in a child case, and in the following year 9 adult cases were reported by MacLeod. We retrospectively reviewed 6 adult cases, five female and one male, who were followed-up with the diagnosis of Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome between 2005 and 2012 in our clinic. The clinical and radiological features of these 6 cases are presented in the light of the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
