  • Title: [A pediatric clinical case of unilateral hyperlucency of the lung].
    Author: Pérez Guerrero JJ, Sánchez Salguero CA.

    Abstract:
    Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome is a rare pulmonary disorder that is characterized radiologically by pulmonary lobar or multilobar hyperlucency produced by decreased pulmonary vascularization usually due to a previous infectious process. It is frequently a casual finding in recurrent pulmonary infections or in the study of asthma symptoms. We present the case of a 6-year-old patient who was diagnosed with Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome after a persistent pneumoniae. A multidisciplinary approach was conducted, with a satisfactory progress up to date, combining medical treatment with respiratory physiotherapy. El síndrome de Swyer-James-MacLeod es un cuadro pulmonar muy infrecuente que se caracteriza radiológicamente por hiperclaridad pulmonar lobar o multilobar, producido por la disminución de la vascularización pulmonar, por lo general, por un proceso infeccioso previo. En ocasiones, es un hallazgo casual en el estudio por infecciones respiratorias o crisis asmáticas repetidas. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 6 años de edad que, en el contexto de probable neumonía persistente, se realizó un amplio estudio que permitió el diagnóstico del síndrome de Swyer-James-MacLeod. Se desarrolló un abordaje terapéutico multidisciplinar con el que, hasta la fecha, la evolución ha sido satisfactoria, con tratamiento médico y fisioterapia respiratoria.
