Left main bronchial obstruction caused by a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst.
A 25-year-old female presented with sudden-onset dyspnoea. A chest X-ray showed total atelectasis on the left haemithorax (Fig. 1). A chest computed tomography (CT) revealed a cystic mass in the posterior mediastinum that compressed the left main bronchus (Fig. 2). Pathological examination confirmed a broncho-genic cyst in the posterior mediastinum. Figure 1: Chest X-ray showing total atelectas...

In adults they are frequently asymptomatic and are discovered incidentally on the chest radiograph. As they enlarge they may cause symptoms referable to tracheal, bronchial, or oesophageal compression.' Extrins...
متن کاملRecurrent mediastinal bronchogenic cyst. Cause of bronchial obstruction and compression of superior vena cava and pulmonary artery.
The recurrence of a benign mediastinal bronchogenic cyst 20 years after partial excision precipitated potentially serious vascular and pulmonary complications. Aggressive total surgical excision should be feasible in the majority of cases. An approach via a median sternotomy offers distinct advantages in certain cases and should be considered. Computerized axial tomographic scanning promises to...
