Macleod's syndrome presenting with spontaneous pneumothorax.
A 19-year-old woman with a recent history of recurrent bronchitis presented with a spontaneous left pneumothorax. Review of the chest radiographs revealed features of Macleod's syndrome on the same side, with unilateral lucency and hypoplastic hilar vessels. To our knowledge this is the first report of Macleod's syndrome presenting with spontaneous pneumothorax.
