Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome (SJMS), also known as Swyer-James syndrome or hyperlucent lung syndrome, is an uncommon syndrome of unilateral functional hypoplasia of the pulmonary vasculature and emphysema, with or without associated bronchiectasis. The condition was first described simultaneously in the 1950s by a respiratory physician William Mathieson Macleod in England (1954), and by a physician Paul Robert Swyer and a radiologist George James in Canada (1953). This rare lung condition is characterized by the radiographic hyperlucent appearance of a single pulmonary lobe or the entire lung. It is considered to arise as a postinfectious complication of bronchiolitis obliterans in childhood.
斯怀尔-詹姆斯-麦克劳德综合征（SJMS），也被称为斯怀尔-詹姆斯综合征或肺过度透亮综合征，是一种罕见的综合征，表现为单侧肺血管功能性发育不全并伴有或不伴有支气管扩张的肺气肿。该病症于20世纪50年代由英国呼吸科医生威廉·马西森·麦克劳德（1954年）以及加拿大医生保罗·罗伯特·斯怀尔和放射科医生乔治·詹姆斯（1953年）同时首次描述。这种罕见的肺部疾病的特征是在X线片上单个肺叶或整个肺部呈现过度透亮的外观。它被认为是儿童期闭塞性细支气管炎的感染后并发症。
