Swyer James syndrome is a rare disorder. It is generally
discovered on a chest radiograph as increased translucency involving one
hemithorax with diminished vascular markings. Hereby, we represent
a-5-year-old girl who admitted for the treatment of recurrent
bronchiolitis. She was diagnosed as having Swyer-James syndrome from the
results of CT scan and ventilation perfusion scintigraphy, which revealed
unsuspected bilateral involvement.
