| Popis: | Bronchogenic cyst is a common primary cyst of the mediastinum, and it is usually located in the middle mediastinum and intrapulmonary regions. Bronchogenic cysts are lesions of congenital origin that occur due to abnormal budding from the primitive ventral foregut. They are common in the pediatric age group and have symptoms of respiratory distress, recurrent cough, wheezing, and stridor. Definitive management involves surgical excision. We herein report our experience of a bronchogenic cyst complicated by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in an 8-month-old infant. The patient underwent a right posterolateral thoracotomy, and an intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst filled with purulent fluid was excised. The patient was given anti-tuberculous medication, and the post-operative outcome was good. |
