Abstract:
Bronchogenic cysts originate from the anomalous development of the ventral foregut. The usual presentation of bronchogenic cyst in the mediastinum is related to cyst infection or tracheobronchial compression. We describe a case of bronchogenic cyst presenting with cardiac dysfunction and hemodynamic compromise in a 23-year-old man with chest pain and progressive dyspnea. A high body mass index and respiratory dysfunction increased the risk of open surgery. Therefore, video-assisted cervical mediastinoscopy was performed and de-roofing of the cyst achieved resolution of his cardiovascular dysfunction and symptoms.
