Özet

Aiming to determine the early functional changes and response to exercise test in two patients with Mac Leod Swyer syndrome. After performing the basal lung function tests, the subjects exercised until maximal level on a cycle ergometer. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was determined from expired gas measurements during test. In conclusion, respiratory function abnormalities in both obstructive and restrictive manner may be seen in even in asymptomatic Swyer James syndrome. Although lung function tests are affected, VO2max during exercise may be normal.
