A cervicothoracic esophageal duplication cyst in an infant and review of literature

چکیده
Cervical esophageal duplication cysts are uncommon congenital malformations, and those with air-fluid level are rarely reported. We describe here a case of cervicothoracic esophageal duplication cyst manifesting air-fluid level on Computed Tomography (CT) in a 6-month-old girl. The preoperative diagnosis was suspected as esophageal duplication or abscess. The postoperative pathological diagnosis was esophageal duplication cyst with infection. This report is to provide insights that esophageal duplication cysts should be included in the differential diagnosis of cervical cystic lesions.
