Posterior Anterior (PA) akciğer grafisinde sol akciğerde belirgin havalanma artışı mevcut olan hastaya, ventilasyon- perfüzyon sintigrafisi, bilgisayarlı toraks tomografisi, toraks manyetik rezonans (MR) anjiyografi bulguları ile ‘Swyer-James (MacLeod) sendromu' tanısı konuldu. Nadir görülen bir sendrom olması nedeniyle son literatür bilgileri ışığında sunmayı uygun gördük. Anahtar Kelime:Akciğer, Hiperlüsent, Swyer-James (Macleod) Sendromu
