HERNANDEZ MOORE, Elizabeth; LOPEZ GUERRERO, Ramón; DELGADO MARIN, Neyda  and  SANCHEZ ANDUJAR, Georgina. Brochogenic cysts in sucklings: A case report. AMC [online]. 2006, vol.10, n.4, pp. 108-116. ISSN 1025-0255.

Bronchogenic cysts, which account for 10-18% of the overall rate of mediastinal tumours in children, are rather uncommon aliments that vary according to age, have a low rate of prevalence and make dissimilar onsets. This paper reports on a case of a 9 month suckling with a brochogenic mediastinal cyst that triggered off airway compression signs given the extreme flexibility in the airway structure. Bronchogenic cysts should be considered for differential diagnosis of the expiratory structure and of the recurrent lung inflammation processes.
