The pathological findings of an intradural and extramedullary cyst in the mid cervical spinal canal are described in a 55 year old woman who presented with a short history of pain and paraesthesia of the right arm. Intradural well defined solitary cystic lesions in the spinal canal are uncommon, their pathogenesis is poorly understood, and their nomenclature is confusing. In this case the cyst ...

Bronchogenic cysts in the muscularis of cardia are very rare lesions. We report a 33-year-old woman who presented epigastric distention, pain, nausea and vomiting. MRI diagnosis lesion was stromal tumor located liver stomach space. Ultrasonic examination indicated that cystic structure closely related to gastric wall, lesions from wall were determined.

Congenital malformations of the lung (CML) are rare with similar embryological and clinical spectra and could result in mortality if left untreated. Bronchogenic cysts are formed during the budding of the tracheal diverticula and ventral foregut in the embryological period. In this paper we want to present a case of bronchogenic cyst with continuous intrauterine cyst aspiration follow-up. After...

Bronchogenic cysts are benign congenital malformations derived from the tracheobronchial tree that correspond to non-functioning lung tissue.1,2 The majority of cases are diagnosed in the pediatric population.3 In adults they are fundamentally found in mediastinum and lung parenchyma.3 However, they can sometimes be located in the thoracic wall, abdomen or cervical region4; in the cervical area...

INTRODUCTION Bronchogenic cyst is a rare clinical entity that occurs due to abnormal development of the foregut; the majority of bronchogenic cysts have been described in the mediastinum and they are rarely found in an extrathoracic location. CASE PRESENTATION We describe the case of an intra-abdominal bronchogenic cyst of the mesentery, incidentally discovered during an emergency laparotomy ...

A routine chest radiograph in a 20 year old man revealed a giant air filled cavity of the left hemithorax under tension. At thoracotomy a large left lower lobe intraparenchymal cyst required lobectomy and the pathological findings were consistent with a bronchogenic cyst. Although tension bronchogenic cysts are common in infants, this case demonstrates their unusual presentation in an adult.

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.

Bronchogenic cysts rarely develop in the abdomen they typically reside in the mediastinum. We present a unique case of a bronchogenic cyst within the lesser sac. Endoscopic ultrasound proved to be a critical diagnostic tool, and the patient underwent a laparoscopic resection of the lesion.

INTRODUCTION Bronchogenic cysts are lesions of congenital origin derived from the primitive foregut and are the most common primary cysts of the mediastinum. They are most frequently unilocular and contain clear fluid. Respiratory distress is the most common presentation in pediatric patients, manifested by recurring episodes of cough, stridor, wheezing and retractions. CASE PRESENTATION We r...
