Swyer-James-MacLeod Syndrome in a Patient with Eisenmenger Syndrome
No full textSwyer-James-MacLeod syndrome is characterized radiologically by hyperlucency in a single lung lobe, accompanied by reduced vascularity, alveolar hyperdistention, and air trapping, without bronchial airway obstruction. The most common congenital heart defect in childhood, ventricular septal defect, leads to irreversible pulmonary hypertension and Eisenmenger syndrome if not treated promptly. This case report presents a 25-year-old patient with Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome and Eisenmenger syndrome. It is crucial to include Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome in the differential diagnosis of patients with atypically distributed pulmonary emphysema and unilateral hyperlucency for early diagnosis and timely intervention. © 2024 Turkish Society of Cardiology.

Swyer-James-Macleod Syndrome presentating as pneumothorax
No full textSwyer-James-MacLeod Syndrome is a rare form of post-infectious bronchiolitis obliterans, characterized by unilateral lung hyperlucency due to loss of pulmonary vasculature and alveolar hyperdistention, in the absence of main bronchial obstruction. It is an exclusion diagnosis, usually suspected on chest x-ray and confirmed by high resolution lung computerized tomography. The clinical course and prognosis are influenced by the presence of underlying bronchiectasis and treatment is generally conservative. The authors report a rare clinical case complicated with bilateral apical blebs and bronchiectasis, presenting as a tension pneumothorax. In the light of this index patient, we discuss specific literature review. Keywords: Hyperlucent lung, Swyer-James syndrome, MacLeod syndrome, Bronchiolitis obliteran

Adult diagnosis of hyperlucent unilateral lung: Swyer-James Macleod syndrome
No full textSwyer- James- MacLeod Syndrome (SJMS) is a constrictive bronchiolitis with airflow obstruction, decreased number and diameter of ipsilateral peripheral pulmonary vessels and air trapping with characteristic radiological feature of unilateral hyperlucency on chest radiography. Computerized tomography (CT) provides useful additional information. The diagnosis is usually made in childhood, but sometimes it in adult. Here, we report a case in a 36 year old adult female who presented with complaints of breathlessness on exertion, cough and recurrent rhinitis with past history of TB and child hood chest infection. Imaging findings are characteristic of Swyer- James- Macleod syndrome
Adult diagnosis of Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome: a case report
No full textAbstract Introduction Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome or unilateral hyperlucent lung syndrome is a rare entity associated with postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans occurring in childhood. It is characterized by hypoplasia and/or agenesis of the pulmonary arteries resulting in pulmonary parenchyma hypoperfusion. Case presentation Here we report the case of a 53-year-old Caucasian woman with Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome found in the differential diagnosis workup for a new onset of heart failure, secondary to pulmonary arterial hypertension complicated by a patent ductus arteriosus. Conclusion Typically, this disorder is diagnosed in childhood after evaluation for recurrent respiratory infections, but sometimes an indolent course means diagnosis is not made until adulthood.</p
NADİR GÖRÜLEN BİR SENDROM: SWYER JAMES MACLEOD OLGUSU
No full textSwyer James MacLeod Sendromu (SJMS) özellikle çocukluk çağında sık pulmoner enfeksiyon sonrası geliştiği düşünülen radyolojik olarak tek taraflı radyolüsen görünümü olan nadir bir sendromdur. Genellikle asemptomatik olup insidental olarak saptanır. Unilateral radyolüsensi yapacak nedenler ekarte edildikten sonra radyolojik olarak tek taraflı hava hapsi, hiperlüsensi bulguları, küçük ya da normal boyutlarda akciğer, pulmoner damarların sayısı ve boyutlarında azalma karakteristik özellikleridir. Swyer James MacLeod Sendromu tedavisi, çoğu vakada konservatif olup hastaların enfeksiyonlara karşı korunması, grip ve pnömokok aşılarını yaptırmaları önerilmektedir. Burada 27 yaşında erkek olgumuzu nadir görülen bir sendrom olması nedeniyle sunmaktayız
Swyer–James–Macleod syndrome mimicking pulmonary embolism in adults: a case report
No full textAbstract Background Swyer–James–MacLeod syndrome (SJMS) is a rare lung condition characterized by a unilateral lung hyperlucency and reduction in the pulmonary vasculature, with or without the presence of bronchiectasis. In the 1950s, Swyer, James, and Macleod simultaneously characterized the syndrome for the first time. It is typically diagnosed in childhood. Adult-onset cases are extremely rare, with little literature available on its clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges. Swyer–James–MacLeod syndrome can mimic other lung disorders, resulting in misdiagnosis and improper treatment. Case presentation A 49- year-old woman from Debre Berhan, Ethiopia, presented to the emergency department of Hakim Gizaw Teaching Hospital with symptoms and radiographic findings mimicking acute pulmonary embolism. On the basis of the clinical presentation and radiographic findings, the patient was first treated as a probable case of pulmonary embolism. Anticoagulant therapy and oxygen support were initiated. Nevertheless, additional testing using a chest computed tomography angiography revealed left lung hyperlucency, decreased vascularity, bronchiectasis, and a negative result for pulmonary embolism. As a result, Swyer–James–MacLeod syndrome was diagnosed. Conclusion The symptoms of Swyer–James–MacLeod syndrome can be mistaken for pulmonary embolism, which could lead to ineffective treatment and needless expenses. In individuals presenting with symptoms suggestive of pulmonary embolism, this case emphasizes the significance of considering Swyer–James–MacLeod syndrome as a differential diagnosis, especially in the absence of established risk factors for pulmonary embolism
Successful pregnancy outcome in Swyer-James-Macleod syndrome
No full textSwyer-James-MacLeod (SJM) syndrome is a chronic, progressive lung disease as a result of infection and bronchial obstruction that ultimately leads to emphysema. It is associated with chronic cough, sputum production and recurrent chest infections and is occasionally seen in women of reproductive age. The radiological finding of unilateral hyperlucent lung is considered synonymous with the disease entity
