Recurrent mediastinal bronchogenic cyst. Cause of bronchial obstruction and compression of superior vena cava and pulmonary artery.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 provide improved definition of mediastinal anatomic features and should be a valuable noninvasive diagnostic method in selected cases.

Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is not an uncommon occurrence in patients with malignancy and it is often described as a medical emergency. In majority of the cases, SVC syndrome occurs due to mechanical obstruction of the SVC by extraluminal compression with primary intrathoracic malignancies. However, intraluminal obstruction due to thrombosis can also produce symptoms and signs of SVC synd...

Biopsy, using mediastinoscopy is commonly employed for accurate histologic diagnosis of a mediastinal mass. However, since the mass is not removed during the procedure, it may cause compression of vital structures such as major airways, the heart, the pulmonary artery, and the superior vena cava after surgery. We observed a case of a 66-year-old man with a mediastinal mass that caused severe ai...
متن کاملIntraoperative Transesophageal Echocardiographic Evidence of SVC Compression by a Bronchogenic Cyst.
BRONCHOGENIC CYSTS ARE UNCOMMON congenital lesions located within the mediastinum. These lesions usually are asymptomatic and rarely require surgical intervention. The authors present a unique case demonstrating intraoperative transesophageal echocardiographic evidence of superior vena cava (SVC) compression by a bronchogenic cyst without any preoperative clinical or sonographic evidence of vas...

A 48-year-old white man was admitted 3 times within a month with symptoms of malaise, retrosternal chest pain, and fever up to 38.5°C. The chest pain increased during inspiration and was relieved by sitting up. C-reactive protein was mildly elevated during those admissions, ranging from 6.1 to 85.1 (normal range, 5.0 mg/L), and cardiac enzymes were normal. The ECG demonstrated sinus rhythm with...
