Looks kind of like a humidity problem - notice how the affected leaves are all past the edge of the pot. Sylvain has a good point in that the plant may have had its major rib broken and cannot provide any nutrients and water past that point. I would do like he said - cut the entire leaf off or at least the damaged part. New leaves will come on as long as the root system is healthy.

I grow all my philodendrons under shoplights in winter and outdoors in summer without much fanfare so they can go from much lower light levels to full sun (acclimated of course) and do very well.
