title: [A unilateral hyperlucent lung...].
abstract: The occurrence in a young patient of a chronic cough with dyspnoea and restrictive ventilatory failure as shown by respiratory function tests suggested the possibility of a Mac Leod syndrome. However, other aetiologies could be considered such as vascular malformations, bronchial malformations and also tumours. If the chest X-ray sometimes enables an aetiological slant, bronchoscopy remains a first line investigation.
