Swyer-James-Macleod syndrome (SJMS) or Bret syndrome presents as unilateral hyperlucent lung, an uncommon pulmonary condition. The accurate diagnosis of SJMS requires high-resolution CT (HRCT), as conventional chest radiographs may underestimate this condition. We present a case of SJMS in a 54-year-old male who was managed with bronchodilators and intravenous antibiotics. This case report underscores the rarity of SJMS in adulthood, with only a limited number of cases reported globally so far. Comprehensive use of HRCT is crucial for precise diagnosis, and early intervention with appropriate medical management is imperative for favorable outcomes.
斯怀尔-詹姆斯-麦克劳德综合征（SJMS）或布雷特综合征表现为单侧肺透亮度增加，这是一种罕见的肺部疾病。SJMS的准确诊断需要高分辨率CT（HRCT），因为传统的胸部X光片可能会低估这种疾病。我们报告一例54岁男性的SJMS病例，该患者接受了支气管扩张剂和静脉抗生素治疗。本病例报告强调了SJMS在成年人中的罕见性，到目前为止全球仅报告了少数病例。综合使用HRCT对于精确诊断至关重要，早期进行适当的医疗干预对于取得良好疗效势在必行。
