Jayamani et al. (2022) conducted a case report in Swyer James Macleod Syndrome (n=1). Conservative medical management (antibiotics, bronchodilators, chest physiotherapy, CPAP) was evaluated on Symptomatic improvement. Conservative medical management including antibiotics, bronchodilators, and CPAP led to symptomatic improvement in a 31-year-old man with Swyer James Macleod syndrome and obstructive sleep apnea.
