Esophageal duplication cyst containing a foreign body.

G Stringel, S Mercer, V Briggs

    Canadian Medical Association Journal
    |March 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Esophageal duplication cysts, rare in children, can cause respiratory distress. Surgical removal is effective, with imaging like CT scans aiding diagnosis, even identifying foreign bodies like a bingo chip.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Esophageal duplication cysts (EDCs) represent 10-15% of alimentary tract duplication cysts.
    • These cysts are characterized by their attachment to the alimentary tract, lined by mucous membrane, and possessing smooth muscle.

    Observation:

    • A 2-year-old child presented with progressive respiratory distress.
    • Diagnostic imaging, including chest roentgenography, barium esophagography, and computerized tomography (CT), was utilized.
    • CT revealed a foreign body within the cyst, later identified as a bingo chip.

    Findings:

    • A diagnosis of esophageal duplication cyst was confirmed.
    • Surgical excision was performed via a low cervical incision with sternal manubrium splitting.
    • Complete mucosal removal is crucial for preventing recurrence if total excision is challenging due to inflammation.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are vital for managing pediatric esophageal duplication cysts.
    • Advanced imaging techniques like CT are valuable for identifying intraluminal contents and aiding surgical planning.
    • Postoperative care involving respiratory support and antibiotics is essential for favorable outcomes.
