What exactly is Bronchogenic Cyst?

Bronchogenic cysts are lesions of congenital origin derived from the primitive foregut 2 and are the most common primary cysts of the mediastinum. Most frequently unilocular, they contain clear fluid or, less commonly, hemorrhagic secretions or air.

The most frequent symptoms are cough, fever, pain, and dyspnea. Tracheobronchial compression and pulmonary infections can occur in children because of the relatively soft tracheobronchial tree. In our series, 81% of patients were symptomatic. Complications of bronchogenic cyst are frequent (45% in our series)

  • Tracheobronchial compression and pulmonary infections,
  • Rare complications comprise[18][19][20][21][22][23][22][21][20] Pneumothorax. Pleurisy. Superior vena cava syndrome. Stenosis of pulmonary artery. Arrhythmias. Fatal air embolism in an airplane passenger

The causes of bronchogenic cyst are largely unknown, but thought to be an abnormal growth of the upper gastrointestinal and respiratory tract during fetal development. Bronchogenic cysts are not usually associated with genetic or chromosomal differences.

The treatment of patients with bronchogenic cysts depends on symptoms at presentation and the patient's age. Surgical resection alleviates symptoms, prevents complications and establishes the diagnosis of bronchogenic cysts. Intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts: Lobectomy is the procedure of choice.
