  • Title: [A case of Swyer-James syndrome diagnosed by selective alveolobronchography].
    Author: Yoshikawa T, Masukawa S, Ide H, Iwata I, Inaba S, Terai T.
    Journal: Nihon Kyobu Shikkan Gakkai Zasshi; 1991 Oct; 29(10):1317-21. PubMed ID: 1753510.
    Abstract:
    A 33-year-old male was admitted to our hospital for further investigation of unilateral hyperlucency of the left upper and middle lung fields on chest X-ray. A pulmonary scan showed decreased perfusion of the left upper and middle lung fields. Pulmonary arteriography demonstrated small left pulmonary arteries with diminished peripheral vascular branches. Left bronchogram showed almost normal distribution of main and subsegmental bronchi, but poor filling by contrast in the peripheral bronchi. From these findings, the patient was diagnosed as having Swyer-James syndrome. In order to demonstrate the alveoli in this syndrome, selective alveolobronchography (SAB) was performed. SAB revealed coarse ring shadows of B1+2.
