Abstract
- Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome is a rare pulmonary disorder that is characterized radiologically by pulmonary lobar or multilobar hyperlucency produced by decreased pulmonary vascularization usually due to a previous infectious process. It is frequently a casual finding in recurrent pulmonary infections or in the study of asthma symptoms. We present the case of a 6-year-old patient who was diagnosed with Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome after a persistent pneumoniae. A multidisciplinary approach was conducted, with a satisfactory progress up to date, combining medical treatment with respiratory physiotherapy.<br />Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest in this work.<br /> (Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría.)
