bronchogenic cyst/fever

OBJECTIVE To study the clinical and pathological features of congenital bronchial cysts. METHODS The clinical, X-ray, CT and histopathologic manifestations were retrospectively reviewed in 30 patients with congenital bronchial cysts. RESULTS There were 23 patients with intrapulmonary bronchogenic

Intermittent episodes of fever, severe dyspnoea and cyanosis were observed in a two-and-a-half-year-old male German shepherd dog. The clinical signs were of sudden onset but disappeared within eight hours, in five almost identical episodes over a period of 40 days. Radiological examination of the

OBJECTIVE Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital cystic malformations of the lung. We retrospectively analyzed ten cases of bronchogenic cyst (BC) to reinforce the importance of recognizing this malformation. METHODS Between 1985 and 2000, ten pediatric patients with BC were treated surgically in

A 43-year-old man presented with dizziness, head instability, and facial reddening, always in relation to body posture and without fever or systemic manifestations. Chest radiography revealed a large cavity with an air-fluid level in the right upper hemithorax. A right upper lobectomy was performed

We reported a case of mediastinal bronchogenic cyst in a patient with a high serum level of CA19-9. The patient, a 41-year-old man, presented with a complaint of persistent fever. Chest X-ray examination, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a subcarinal mass shadow which was

We present an unusual case of cardiac tamponade in a 17-year-old girl immunocompetent patient due to Salmonella enterica ssp. bredeney following infection of a bronchogenic cyst. The patient was admitted to hospital with pleuritic chest pain, dyspnoea and fever. Pulmonary angio-CT showed a

Bilateral giant tension bronchogenic cysts were detected by computed tomography in a 13-year-old girl who presented with fever and severe cough. One was located in the right upper lobe, the other in the left lower lobe. The cysts, both measuring 10 cm in diameter, were removed in 2 operations 2

Bronchogenic cysts are congenital. They are typically discovered in infancy or early childhood. Secondary infection of the cyst is uncommon. We present the case of a 17-year-old female who presented to the emergency department with intermediate onset of upper abdominal, and retrosternal chest pain

The presentation of the bronchogenic cyst is variable making preoperative diagnosis difficult. The majority are either asymptomatic or discovered incidentally. The most common presenting symptoms are cough, fever and dyspnoea. We discuss the case of a large bronchogenic cyst in the posterior

Two recent patients with bronchogenic cysts, presenting in an atypical manner, stimulated our review of this subject. Twenty patients with bronchogenic cysts have been treated at the Boston Floating Hospital over the past 20 yr. Of these patients, 19 out of 20 were symptomatic, the most common

An 18-month-old girl presented with high fever and vomiting. Pneumothorax and a cystic formation in the right hemithorax were found on a chest radiograph. The cyst measuring 10 x 10 x 8 cm was resected by a simple wedge resection. Histology revealed a complicated bronchogenic cyst with abscess

OBJECTIVE Bronchogenic cysts of the mediastinum are rare congenital anomalies that arise early in gestation from abnormal budding of the developing respiratory system. Recommended treatment is surgical resection and incomplete resection may lead to local recurrence more than 10 years later with or

A 79-year-old female visited a hospital because of high fever and computed tomography(CT)showed a cystic lesion with fluid accumulation in her left lung. She had hemoptysis and left chest pain 3 days after antibiotic therapy was started. Chest CT demonstrated the cystic lesion rupturing and causing

BACKGROUND Bronchogenic cysts are lesions of congenital origin derived from the primitive foregut and are the most common primary cysts of the mediastinum. They are most frequently unilocular and contain clear fluid. Respiratory distress is the most common presentation in pediatric patients,

A case report of a patient with bronchogenic cyst who presented with cardiogenic symptoms was described. The precise diagnosis was finally made after completing various diagnostic procedures which included reconstruction computed tomography. The patient, a 30-year-old man, was admitted to our
