Abstract
The 64-slice three dimensional (3D) multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) angiography and high resolution coronal multiplanar reformation (MPR) computed tomography (CT) images in inspiration and expiration were performed in a patient suspected of having Swyer – James syndrome. The right pulmonary system was normal. The left lung was small and hyperlucent. The left pulmonary arterial system was small but patent. Both lung contained bronchiectasis. High resolution coronal MPR CT images confirmed air trapping in the left lung and the right upper lobe. A diagnosis of Swyer-James syndrome was made.
