Cervical bronchogenic cyst diagnosed prenatally

Congenital Cervical Bronchogenic Cyst: A Case Report.

INTRODUCTION Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital anomalies of the embryonic foregut. They are caused by abnormal budding of diverticulum of the embryonic foregut between the 26th and 40th day of gestation. Bronchogenic cysts can appear in the mediastinum and pulmonary parenchyma, or at ectopic sites (neck, subcutaneous tissue or abdomen). So far, 70 cases of cervical localization of bronchog...

Peripartal management of a prenatally diagnosed large oral cyst

Case Report: Infant with prenatally diagnosed arachnoid cyst

Case This patient’s central nervous system abnormality was first suspected during a routine prenatal ultrasound at 29 weeks gestation. It was discovered that the patient had ventriculomegaly and a pineal region cyst (Figure 1a). A fetal MRI was performed at 31 weeks gestation (Figure 2). This showed a 3x3x3 cm unilocular cyst in the quadrigeminal plate cistern causing obstructive hydrocephalus....

Calcified Bronchogenic Cyst

Herein, we reported the case of a 32-year-old male patient presented with intermittent attacks of mild right chest pain and dyspnea for 2 years. On contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) of the chest, a non-enhancing subcarinal cystic lesion about 6×6.5 cm was detected in the posterior mediastinum, consistent with the features of bronchogenic cyst. The lesion showed small calcific focus cha...

Surgical treatment of a paratracheal bronchogenic cyst using cervical mediastinoscopy*

Bronchogenic cysts of the mediastinum are benign congenital lesions, usually found in adults. When surgery is indicated, the classical approach is resection of the lesion by thoracotomy or thoracoscopy. Herein, we describe the complete resection of a paratracheal bronchogenic cyst by cervical mediastinoscopy. We also include a brief review and discussion of the literature.
