Infantile Bronchogenic Cyst: A Rare Cause of Persistent Respiratory Distress and Recurrent Pneumonia
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
A 3-month-old male infant presented with difficulty in breathing, severe chest retractions, and grunting. He had a history of multiple episodes of hospitalization for severe pneumonia. Imaging studies (chest X-ray & MRI) revealed a mediastinal-based, well-defined, predominantly cystic lesion in the right upper and mid-zone, compressing the trachea. The infant underwent surgical excision of the cyst, and histopathological examination confirmed a bronchogenic cyst. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the infant was discharged on the 5th postoperative day.
