“…These groups are: the carinal group, in which the BC is located near or just beneath the bifurcation of the trachea; the paratracheal group, in which the cyst is attached to the right lateral tracheal wall a short distance above the bifurcation of the trachea; the hilar group, in which the BC is attached to one of the main or lobar bronchi; the paraesophageal group, in which the BC has a close relationship with the esophagus but little or no apparent connection with the tracheobronchial tree; and the miscellaneous group, in which the BC is found in an atypical location such as the pericardium or presternum. 2,4,5 Although some patients are diagnosed incidentally, most have clinical symptoms. Incipient symptoms are associated with the mass effect or complications of the cyst.…”

“…Esophagography or ultrasonography can be used in patients with clinical signs but no evidence of a solid or cystic mass on plain radiography. 2,5,10 Esophageal contrast study is the best investigation for localizing the cyst and revealing any compression of the adjacent structures. It may also be useful in the differential diagnosis of esophageal duplication cysts and diaphragmatic hernia.…”

“…Foregut duplication cysts may further consist of esophageal, bronchogenic and neurogenic cysts, depending on embryologic site of origin [3]. 50%-70% foregut duplication cysts are enterogenous [4] and only 7%-15% are bronchogenic [5]. Bronchogenic cysts constitute 6%-15% of all primary mediastinal masses.…”

Abstract:Enteric duplication is a rare congenital anomaly which is commonly encountered in pediatric age group, and is rarely seen in adult patients. Ileum is the most common site of involvement (60%) followed by duodenum, stomach, jejunum, colon and rectum. Here we report a case of a 20-year old female presenting with acute intestinal obstruction, in which an initial diagnosis of Hirschsprung's disease (HD) was considered and laparotomy, multiple colonic biopsies, appendectomy with loop ileostomy was done. The diagnosis of HD was disproved by presence of ganglionic cells in the colonic wall. Diagnosis of a long duplication, along the entire length of colon, was made when a CECT was done with instillation of contrast through the distal limb of ileostomy. A subtotal colectomy with division of septum between the residual cyst and rectum with colorectal anastomosis was done after a month and closure of ileostomy after another 3 months. The patient recovered well and is asymptomatic in follow-up.

“…In studying mediastinal cysts Pokorny and Sherman (6) and Snyder et al (7) reported that bronchogenic cysts were more common than esophageal duplication cysts. In contrast, Haller et al (8) found that esophageal duplication cysts were more common than bronchogenic cysts.…”

Recurrent Thoracic Duplication Cyst with Associated Mediastinal Gas

Mediastinal cysts are not uncommon in the pediatric age group. Presentation varies from an abnormality found on routine chest radiograph to severe respiratory distress and even respiratory failure. Presentation depends on the age of the patient, the location of the lesion, the extent and the size of the mass, and what structures are involved. The case of a six-year-old boy who presented with recurrence of a mediastinal mass associated with gas two years after surgical removal of an infected esophageal duplication cyst is described. No connection between the cyst and the esophagus to explain the presence of gas was documented. This appears to be the first reported case of esophageal duplication cyst associated with mediastinal gas.
