“…Left mainstem bronchi were affected in all three cases of BM 7,8 . The left mainstem bronchus is a more common site of isolated BM, possibly because it is longer without branch points than the right mainstem bronchus 5 .…”

“…Left mainstem bronchi were affected in all three cases of BM. 7,8 The left mainstem bronchus is a more common site of isolated BM, possibly because it is longer without branch points than the right mainstem bronchus. 5 Fortunately, the left side of thorax offers the surgeon better anatomic options for effective suspension of the collapsed bronchus than the right side.…”

“…Tracheobronchoscopic examination revealed severe isolated BM of the left mainstem bronchus in all three cases. As shown by computed tomography scanning of the chest, in Case 5 BM resulted from extramural compression caused by a bronchogenic cyst 7 . Cases 4 and 6 had primary BM (Table 1).…”

“…Bronchopexy (BPX) is the most common surgical approach to severe cases of BM. Analogously to APX, BPX entails surgical suspension of the affected bronchus via sutures to nearby tissue 6–8 . Six cases of severe TM or BM treated with APX or BPX are described in the present article.…”

Can all congenital cystic lung lesions be treated conservatively, without the need for surgery? Our purpose here is to present the morbidity associated with symptomatic cystic lung lesions which have failed to respond to medical treatment. In the past 8 years, 22 consecutive cystic thoracic lesions were retrospectively assessed for clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, operative findings, technical tribulations, and outcome. The endpoint was complete cessation of recurrent pneumonia and dysphagia. Age at presentation was 7.7 +/- 2.2 years, with 4 +/- 2 episodes per year of lower respiratory tract infection, which had been treated for the past 2.6 +/- 0.3 years. Cough and dyspnea (100%) were the common symptoms, with episodes of cyanosis occurring in 58%. Other significant clinical presentations were dysphagia (55%), failure to thrive (55%), chest pain (46%), haemoptysis (18%), and pleuritic pain (18%). Definitive growth was seen in 91% of the excised specimens. Preoperative morbidity resulted from intractable pneumonia, dysphagia, and failure to thrive. Surgical excision was curative. All 22 children after resection are thriving, with an absence of pneumonia and dysphagia, with normal ventilation/perfusion scans, at 48 +/- 6 months of follow-up. In conclusion, surgical excision of a symptomatic cystic lung lesion that has not responded to medical treatment is recommended.
