13 de fev. de 2023 · Shrinking lung syndrome is a rare complication of systemic autoimmune disease, most commonly SLE. This condition presents with exertional dyspnoea with or without pleuritic chest pain. It is rare, affecting approximately 1% of patients with SLE, and can occur at any point in the disease.

INTRODUCTION: Shrinking lung syndrome (SLS) is a rare disease characterised by progressive dyspnea, elevation of the diaphragm, pleuritic chest pain, decreased lung volumes on imaging, and restrictive pattern seen on pulmonary function test (PFT).
In rare cases, SLE patients present a syndrome characterized by dyspnea, chest pain and abnormalities in pulmonary function testing, although there may be no evidence of major parenchymal lung disease on computerized tomography scans. This condition has come to be known as shrinking lung syndrome.

Shrinking lung syndrome (SLS) is a rare and poorly understood pulmonary complication of SLE. Here we present a case of SLS in a patient with SLE. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old male was diagnosed with SLE at age of 19 after developing polyarthralgia, lymphadenopathy and facial skin rash.
16 de nov. de 2021 · Shrinking lung syndrome (SLS), a rare complication of autoimmune inflammatory diseases, is mainly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with an occurrence in 1%–2% of cases. It is characterized by restrictive defects on pulmonary function tests (PFTs) associated with reduced lung volume.
9 de jan. de 2014 · Shrinking lung syndrome is characterized by small lung volumes, elevation of the diaphragm and restrictive physiology without parenchymal involvement. Its pathogenesis remains controversial: diaphragm dysfunction, phrenic neuropathy or pleural inflammation.
