Abstract

Swyer James MacLeod Syndrome (SJMS) is a rare syndrome with a unilateral radiolucent appearance that is thought to develop after frequent pulmonary infection in childhood. It is usually asymptomatic and incidentally detected. Radiologically, unilateral air confinement, signs of hyperlucency, small or normal lungs, pulmonary vessels and decrease in size are seen. Swyer James MacLeod Syndrome treatment is conservative in most cases and it is recommended to protect patients against infections and to receive influenza and pneumococcal vaccines. Herein, we present a 27-year-old man with a rare syndrome.

Özet

Swyer 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 enfeksiyon-lara karşı korunması, grip ve pnömokok aşılarını yaptırmaları önerilmektedir. Burada 27 yaşında erkek olgumuzu nadir görülen bir sendrom olması nedeniyle sunmaktayız.
