A rare enteric foregut duplication cyst caused respiratory distress in an infant. Surgical excision via posterolateral thoracotomy successfully treated this posterior mediastinal mass.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Enteric foregut duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies.
  • Posterior mediastinal masses can present with respiratory compromise in neonates.

Observation:

  • A one-month-old male infant presented with respiratory distress and decreased air entry.
  • Physical examination revealed intercostal retractions on the right side.

Findings:

  • Imaging identified a well-defined cystic mass in the posterior mediastinum.
  • The cyst was associated with vertebral anomalies.
  • Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of an enteric foregut duplication cyst.

Implications:

  • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for managing congenital mediastinal cysts.
