Swyer-James syndrome

[Aronjay1]

Has anyone else been diagnosed with swyer-James syndrome? I have a hypoplasia left lung with bronchiectasis in both lungs. My lung function is anywhere between 26-33% most of the time. Anyone else deal with anything similar?

Have never heard of this. For those interested

“Swyer-James syndrome is a rare condition in which the lung (or portion of the lung) does not grow normally and is slightly smaller than the opposite lung, usually following bronchiolitis in childhood. It is typically diagnosed after a chest X-ray or CT scan which shows unilateral pulmonary hyperlucency (one lung appearing less dense) and diminished pulmonary arteries.[1][2] Affected individuals may not have any symptoms, or more commonly, they may have recurrent pulmonary infections and common respiratory symptoms.[2] The cause of the condition is not completely understood.”

Hope someone comes along who can help you
