been high with particulate or liquid embolic media. Rather, we attempted to reduce blood flow as much as possible to facilitate operation.Complete surgical resection of a mediastinal AVM is rarely possible. Anti-angiogenic therapy, corticosteroid treatment, interferon administration, and intralesional sclerotherapy have not been helpful. 4 A carefully planned program of embolization to reduce flow, followed by surgical excision, was effective in controlling the first patient's tracheal disease. An earlier aggressive approach for the second patient, when the tracheal lesion also appeared more localized, might have produced a similar long-term palliative result.
Lung bronchogenic cyst may be infected and present with symptomatology and chest radiological findings compatible with an infected lung cyst, including pulmonary hydatid cyst. We describe a case of a 5-year-old girl with a symptomatic solitary mass in the right lower lobe that was initially treated as a hydatid cyst. Eventually, a lobectomy was performed, and a final diagnosis done on pathology showed an infected congenital bronchogenic cyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
