Intrapericardial bronchogenic cysts are rare developmental abnormalities. This case report highlights diagnosis via echocardiography and intraoperative confirmation in a young woman presenting with relevant symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental biology
  • Cardiovascular medicine
  • Thoracic surgery

Background:

  • Bronchogenic cysts originate from abnormal foregut or tracheobronchial budding during embryogenesis.
  • Intrapericardial location of bronchogenic cysts is exceptionally rare.
  • Symptoms like chest pain, dyspnea, and arrhythmias depend on cyst location, size, and cardiac compression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of an intrapericardial bronchogenic cyst.
  • To illustrate diagnostic methods and clinical presentation.
  • To emphasize the importance of considering rare diagnoses in symptomatic patients.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnosis was initiated using echocardiography.
  • Confirmation of the diagnosis was achieved through intraoperative findings.

  • Clinical presentation and imaging findings were correlated.

    • Main Results:

    • An intrapericardial bronchogenic cyst was successfully diagnosed in a young female patient.
    • Echocardiography provided crucial diagnostic information.
    • Intraoperative assessment confirmed the cyst's nature and location.

    Conclusions:

    • Intrapericardial bronchogenic cysts, though rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cardiac and thoracic symptoms.
    • Echocardiography is a valuable tool for the initial diagnosis of these cysts.
    • Surgical confirmation remains essential for definitive diagnosis and management.
