“…On radiographs, the hyperlucency is usually confined to one lobe or lung, even though bronchography and radionuclide scans show that the abnormality is often patchy and bilateral [3,4]. Radiographs showed unilateral disease in seven of our cases and bilateral disease in one, but both radionuclide and CT scans showed that radiographs underestimated the extent of disease.…”

“…Third, the initiating viral infection might damage both bronchioles and bronchi simultaneously [1 4, 19]; the early result is air trapping, reflecting bronchiolar obstruction, and bronchiectasis follows over weeks and months [4,14], often promoted by secondary bacterial infection [16].…”

“…Most experts support that the initial abnormality occurs in the distal bronchi following infection during early age (11,12). The affected lung is usually small as the infection during childhood inhibited the normal growth pattern, with secondary hypoplasia of the pulmonary artery.…”

Swyer-James Syndrome with Peculiar Course and Ipsilateral Pulmonary Vein Defect

et al. 2011

Swyer-James syndrome (SJS) is a rare disease probably resulting from bronchiolitis obliterans. The radiological findings of this entity are characterized by hyperlucent appearance of one or more lobes of a unilateral lung, decreased lung volume, diminished ipsilateral hilar shadow and hardly visible arterial structure on chest radiography. We report a 50-year-old patient, who had unilateral right lower lung hyperlucency on chest radiography. However, the patient reported a history of pulmonary atelectasis of lobus centralis dexter in the course and the corresponding affliction of ipsilateral pulmonary vein, that rendered the diagnosis more complicated. The radiological and pathological features of this syndrome, as well as differential diagnosis were also discussed.

“…Man hat sie auch als einseitige Lungenhelligkeit [6,24], diffuse Obstruktion der kleinen Bronchien [14], unilaterales Emphysem bzw. Pseudoemphysem [8,11,27], Bronchiolitis obliterans [28,30] sowie als einseitig nicht funktionierende Lunge [32] bezeichnet. Die vielfältige Ter minologie drückt die Unsicherheit der pathogenetischen Einordnung dieses Syndroms und seiner Abgrenzung vom lokalisierten Lungenemphysem aus.…”

“…Seit dieser Zeit sind mehrere ähnliche Fälle mitgeteilt worden [3, 6-8. 10-12, 16-18, 20-22, 24, 26-34] [24,28], Die mehr oder weniger diffus auftretenden morphologischen Veränderungen bevorzugen die Segment-und Subsegmentbronchien sowie die Bronchioli [22,29,30], Ausserdem sind im Bronehogramm deutlich die spät liehe Füllung der kleinen Bronchusäste sowie -als Folge des schlechten inspiratorischen Sogs in die Peripherie -die fehlende alveoläre Füllung zu sehen.…”

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.
