Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome (SJMS) also known as hyperlucent lung syndrome is a condition that occurs as a complication of infectious bronchiolitis obliterans. It is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the affected area of the lung resulting in ventilation and perfusion mismatch ultimately leading to underdevelopment of the affected lung. A key feature used for diagnosis is unilateral small lung with hyperlucency on a chest radiograph. Additional insights can be gained through high-resolution computed tomography scans. This study focuses on detailing the imaging findings from a case involving an elderly patient diagnosed with SJMS.
斯怀尔-詹姆斯-麦克劳德综合征（SJMS），也称为肺过度透亮综合征，是一种作为闭塞性细支气管炎感染并发症出现的病症。其特征是肺部受影响区域出现炎症和纤维化，导致通气与灌注不匹配，最终致使患侧肺发育不全。用于诊断的一个关键特征是胸部X光片上显示单侧小肺且肺野过度透亮。通过高分辨率计算机断层扫描可获得更多信息。本研究着重详细阐述一例诊断为SJMS的老年患者的影像学表现。
