Unilateral Hyperlucent Lung in Adulthood: A Case Report of Swyer-James-Macleod Syndrome.

Swyer-James-Macleod syndrome (SJMS) or Bret syndrome presents as unilateral hyperlucent lung, an uncommon pulmonary condition. The accurate diagnosis of SJMS requires high-resolution CT (HRCT), as conventional chest radiographs may underestimate this condition. We present a case of SJMS in a 54-year-old male who was managed with bronchodilators and intravenous antibiotics. This case report underscores the rarity of SJMS in adulthood, with only a limited number of cases reported globally so far. Comprehensive use of HRCT is crucial for precise diagnosis, and early intervention with appropriate medical management is imperative for favorable outcomes.
