Congenital Cervical Bronchogenic Cyst: A Case Report
Srpski Arhiv Za Celokupno Lekarstvo
|August 12, 2015
Summary
Cervical bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital malformations diagnosed via histopathology. Surgical excision is crucial for both diagnosis and treatment of these neck lesions.
Area of Science:
- Congenital malformations
- Embryonic development
- Foregut anomalies
Background:
- Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital anomalies originating from the embryonic foregut.
- They typically manifest in the mediastinum or pulmonary parenchyma but can occur ectopically, including the neck.
- Cervical bronchogenic cysts are often asymptomatic, with symptoms arising from enlargement or infection.
Observation:
- A case study details a 6-year-old female with a neck lump and respiratory issues.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a well-circumscribed, paratracheal cystic formation.
- The cyst was surgically excised via a transcervical approach.
Findings:
- Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a bronchogenic cyst.
- Cervical bronchogenic cysts present diagnostic challenges due to resemblance to other neck lesions.
- Histopathology is essential for definitive diagnosis.
Implications:
- Surgical excision serves as both a therapeutic and diagnostic tool for cervical bronchogenic cysts.
- Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are vital for managing these rare congenital malformations.
- Accurate histopathological analysis ensures appropriate treatment and understanding of cervical bronchogenic cysts.

01:23Cystic Fibrosis: Pathogenesis
1.1K
Cystic fibrosis (CF), an autosomal recessive disorder, significantly affects the function of exocrine glands. This genetically inherited disease is characterized by the production of thick and sticky mucus, which can severely affect various organs and systems in the body.
CF is primarily caused by a genetic mutation in a chromosome 7 gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. The most common gene mutation leading to CF is the ΔF508 mutation,...

626
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disorder that predominantly affects individuals of Northern European descent, occurring at a rate of 1 in 3500. It is caused by a genetic mutation in a gene on chromosome 7, most commonly the ΔF508 mutation, that codes for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. This results in thicker mucus secretions and obstruction pathologies in multiple organs, including the lungs and sinuses.

The human bronchi and bronchial tree play a crucial role in the respiratory system, facilitating the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Let's delve into the intricate structure and functions of these respiratory components.
The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that connects the larynx (voice box) to the bronchi. At a point called the carina, it bifurcates into two primary bronchi. The right primary bronchus is wider, shorter, and more vertical than the left primary...

01:17Pulmonary Cycle: Exhalation
4.9K
In terms of human respiration, the act of expelling air, known as exhalation (or expiration), operates on the principle of pressure gradients. During expiration, the pressure within the lungs exceeds that of the surrounding atmosphere. Under normal conditions, quiet breathing involves passive exhalation and is free of muscular contractions. This is because the exhalation process is driven by the natural elastic recoil of the lungs and chest wall, both of which have an inherent tendency to...

01:30Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy
931
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...
