  • Title: Preoperative aspiration for anterior mediastinal cyst with respiratory distress.
    Author: Menon P, Rao KL, Trehan A.
    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 2003 Sep; 40(9):897-900. PubMed ID: 14530554.
    Abstract:
    We report a 5-month-old boy who presented with an anterior mediastinal cystic teratoma. Pre-operative symptoms of respiratory distress secondary to airway obstruction were markedly reduced by percutaneous aspiration. Aspiration was also beneficial in easily ventilating the baby during the surgical procedure.
