  • Title: Swyer-James-McLeod's syndrome and pneumothorax on same side: delay in chest drain removal despite full expansion.
    Author: Anwar N, Yadavilli R, Ibrahim K.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2011 Feb 23; 2011():. PubMed ID: 22707546.
    Abstract:
    Swyer-James-McLeod's syndrome (SJMS) occurs as a result of childhood recurrent respiratory infections. As this condition presents with few symptoms, if any, it may pass unnoticed until adulthood. The authors are presenting a case of a 17-year-old male admitted with spontaneous pneumothorax. Even though his lung expanded, his chest x-rays still mimicked a pneumothorax. Chest CT pulmonary angiogram was needed to confirm the diagnosis of unilateral SJMS. Diagnostic difficulty arose because both conditions were on the same side.
