This paper describes two cases of unilateral hyperlucency of the lung with detailed clinical roentgenologic and physiologic studies performed after documented observation of 11 and 34 years. In spite of increasing 'air-trapping' and pulmonary arterial hypertension the course of the disease is relatively rather benign. Although a review of the literature fails to reveal a unified concept of etiology, the constant finding of diffuse peripheral airway obstruction may well be the result of a severe respiratory infection in childhood. The acquaintance with this syndrome is of practical value, since the effects upon ventilation and cardiovascular dynamics as well as the higher incidence of infections are notorious.
