“…If an air-fluid level is present, this suggests a communicating cyst [17]. However, endoscopic ultrasound has also been used in delineating these lesions with some success when visualising a thin walled, cystic, hypoechoic mass and has an unknown role in the diagnosis of oesophageal duplication cysts in the future [18][19][20] and there have also been documented success in endoscopic resection of oesophageal duplication cysts [21] and aspiration. In a 22-year-old man with a history of recurrent dyspepsia and dysphagia, an oesophageal duplication cyst was found at the lower oesophagus which was amenable to endoscopic aspiration guided by endoscopic ultrasound, which was performed with success [22].…”

Oesophageal duplication cysts are a rare congenital anomaly of the foregut which usually present in infancy with respiratory symptoms, recurrent pneumonia and feeding difficulty. Other presenting symptoms depend on the location of the cyst and can include dysphagia, chest pain, arrhythmias and features of mediastinal compression. Treatment is usually surgical resection, recommended for complete resolution of symptoms, histological diagnosis and exclusion of malignancy. Here, we present a case of infected oesophageal duplication cyst which presents as a neck lump in a 43-year-old female with a background of Goltz syndrome, azygos fissure and congenital aortic stenosis. Surgical resection was decided against owing to the patient's high risk secondary to co-morbidities and instead ultrasound guided drainage was carried out successfully. The patient was symptom free and well at 1-year follow-up. Oesophageal duplication is an unusual presentation of a neck lump in an adult and whilst the usual treatment is surgical resection, we present here a case treated in an entirely different manner.

“…Whilst the majority of resections undertaken are open, either via laparotomy or thoracotomy, there are isolated cases of resections undertaken via a laparoscopic route [22], robot-assisted resection [25], or even endoscopic approaches [21].…”

“…The diagnostic work-up includes several imaging techniques such as CT, MRI, barium esophagram, and endoscopy, but these are often inconclusive. 6 EUS is currently considered to be the most sensitive method for the evaluation of esophageal duplication. 5,7 Unfortunately, EUS could not be performed in the present patient, owing to the presence of the upper stricture and the diminished diameter of the main esophageal lumen near the duplication.…”

“…The treatment of symptomatic or enlarging cysts has traditionally been surgical resection or marsupialization. Endoscopic treatments that have been described in case reports include snare resection, endoscopic incision, and marsupialization [113][114][115][116].…”
