  • Title: Infected bronchogenic cyst causing dysphagia and retrosternal pain.
    Author: Søndergaard EB, Pedersen JH, Kleive D.
    Journal: Clin Respir J; 2013 Apr; 7(2):e13-4. PubMed ID: 22583776.
    Abstract:
    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 and fever. Subsequent X-ray and computerised tomography scan showed a bronchogenic cyst. The patient underwent subacute thoracotomy where a bronchogenic cyst filled with pus was located and excised. Bronchogenic cysts can be a rare cause of retrosternal pain.
