Department of Respiratory Medicine, Haibara General Hospital, Shizuoka, Japan.

A 64-year-old man with ischemic heart disease was admitted to our hospital because of dyspnea. A chest X-ray film showed a butterfly shadow in the right lung. A chest X-ray film obtained before the patient had respiratory symptoms showed hyperlucency of the left lung. CT scans obtained at maximal inspiration and expiration revealed air trapping. Pulmonary arteriography showed that the left pulmonary artery and its branches were very small. Cardiac catheterization showed poor cardiac function. Swyer-James syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients with unilateral pulmonary edema.

D011651 Pulmonary Artery The short wide vessel arising from the conus arteriosus of the right ventricle and conveying unaerated blood to the lungs. Arteries, Pulmonary,Artery, Pulmonary,Pulmonary Arteries
D011654 Pulmonary Edema Excessive accumulation of extravascular fluid in the lung, an indication of a serious underlying disease or disorder. Pulmonary edema prevents efficient PULMONARY GAS EXCHANGE in the PULMONARY ALVEOLI, and can be life-threatening.

D011656 Pulmonary Emphysema Enlargement of air spaces distal to the TERMINAL BRONCHIOLES where gas-exchange normally takes place. This is usually due to destruction of the alveolar wall. Pulmonary emphysema can be classified by the location and distribution of the lesions.
