pubmed:abstractText
A 5-year-old girl with an asymptomatic posterior mediastinal cyst from birth was followed with repeated echocardiograms. The cyst developed communication with the bronchus spontaneously around 8 months of age without clinical symptoms. This was detected from the sudden disappearance of the mass on echocardiogram, and an unusual air-pocket on chest roentgenogram. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest confirmed the diagnosis of communicating bronchogenic cyst (BC). She was treated successfully with complete surgical excision of the cyst and closure of the defect in the bronchus. We emphasize that surgery is indicated in all mediastinal BCs because of potential complications.
