  Swyer-James McLeod syndrome or unilateral hyperlucent lung is basically a radiologic entity, defined by one or more hyperlucent lung lobus, or a complete hyperlucent lung. Lung size may be normal or reduced. There is a mediastinal deviation towards the affected hemithorax during inhalation and a limited diaphragmatic movement. Poor lung vascularization is also apreciated and a characteristic bronchographyc pattern. It may be associated to bronchiectasias as it happened in our patient.

  We introduce a case of a two months old male infant diagnosed of serious RSV + bronchiolitis, needing intensive care.
