Abstract
A contract serviceman, 32 years old, was sent to the district clinical hospital with an unproductive cough, shortness of breath, pain in the right side of the chest, «right-sided emphysema» of the lungs, and obstructive syndrome. A chest x-ray revealed a decrease in the volume of the right half of the chest, depletion of the pulmonary pattern, «high» transparency of the right lung, and mediastinal shift. CT angiography of the chest revealed hypertransparency of the right lung, hypoplasia of the main right pulmonary artery and its branches, and multiple bronchiectasis. Thus, a rare diagnosis was made – McLeod syndrome. We have identified no description of such pathology in military personnel in the domestic literature.
