1 Bronchogenic Cysts of the Mediastinum in Infancy A Cause of Acute Respiratory Distress Shakeab Alshabkhoun, M.D.,* George W. B. Starkey, M.D.,? and Russell A. Asnes, M.D. A lthough uncommon, bronchogenic cysts of the mediastinum in infancy are an important group of lesions. They produce severe and recurrent attacks of respiratory distress that may end fatally if the cause is not recognized (see Table 1). Excisional surgery is curative, but diagnosis may be elusive. Many of the features of this condition are illustrated by the two cases reported below. CASE REPORTS CASE 1 A 12-week-old Negro male was well until one week prior to admission, when he developed cough, fever, and respiratory distress. On physical examination he was well developed and well nourished. Temperature was 100 F. rectally, and respirations were fifty per minute. There was flaring of the ala nasi, chest retraction, diminished breath sounds over the left chest, and bilateral, moist rales and wheezing. The heart was unremarkable. The leukocyte count was 15,800 with normal differential, the hematocrit 36%, the urinalysis normal, and the intermediate-strength PPD test negative. Cultures of laryngeal and tracheal aspirates revealed normal flora. The initial chest x-ray (Fig. 1) showed a hyperaerated left lung and a mediastinal shift to the right. Hospital Course. A diagnosis of bronchiolitis was entertained, and the patient was treated with oxygen, mist, and decongestants. However, x-rays continued to show overdistension of the left lung. A bronchoscopy was performed and disclosed generalized reddening of the bronchial mucosa and a slitlike narrowing of the left main-stem bronchus immediately distal to the carina. A barium swallow revealed slight compression of the midesophagus along the left lateral border below the level of the carina. There was no demonstrable esophageal fistula. A scheduled bronchogram was postponed because the patient suddenly developed tachypnea at the rate of 70 respirations per minute, abdominal distension, and marked intercostal retractions. Moist rales, decreased breath sounds, and wheezes were heard over the left chest. An emergency bronchoscopy was performed, and thick, tenacious secretions were aspirated from the trachea and left main-stem bronchus. A tracheostomy was done which relieved the acute From the Thoracic Surgery Service, Boston City Hospital, Boston, Mass. *Former Resident ( ), Thoracic Surgery Service, Boston City Hospital.

A bronchogram demonstrated a marked narrowing of the left main-stem bronchus; there were collections of dye in the subcarinal region to the left of the midline (Fig. 2). The areas occupied by the dye appeared to be lobulated and smooth, measuring 1.5 cm. in diameter. Exploratory left tlioracotomy revealed two lobulated cysts in the mediastinuin attached to the undersurface of the left main-stem bronchus and filled with white mucoid material. Because the patient developed bradycardia, only one cyst was rapidly removed; the second one was evacuated by needle aspirations. The left pleural space was drained, and the chest was closed.

The tracheostomy tube was removed early, and the patient was discharged on the tenth postoperative day. The chest x-ray on discharge was essentially normal. The histological examination of the operative specimen showed a cyst lined by ciliated columnar epithelium, a finding compatible with a bronchogenic cyst. Second Hospztal Admission. The patient did well for four months, but at the age of seven months he once again developed respiratory distress. Physical examination showed his weight to be 14 pounds, pulse rate 120, and respirations sixty per minute. He had wheeling and intercostal retractions; the breath sounds were diminished over the left chest. Chest x-ray again showed a hyperaerated left lung and a marked mediastinal shift to the right. A bronchogram revealed widening of the carina and severe narrowing of the left main-stem bronchus (Fig. 3). At a second left thoracotomy, a tense, 2 cm. bronchogenic cyst was found compressing the left main-stem bronchus. This was the cyst that had only been evacuated by needle aspiration during the first operation. The cyst was excised, and the fistula to the left bronchus was closed. The postoperative course was uneventful. Two years later the patient was asymptomatic, and his chest x-ray was normal. CASE 2 An 8-day-old Negro male was admitted in acute respiratory distress. On the day of admission the mother noted that the child s color was dusky and that his breathing was difficult. Physical examination revealed a cyanotic infant in acute respiratory distress. His pulse was 140 per minute, respirations seventy per minute, and temperature 98 F. rectally. There were intercostal and subcostal retractions and bilateral wheezing. The remainder of the examination was unremarkable. Chest x-ray revealed overdistension of the left lung, collapse of the right upper lobe, and a mediastinal shift to the right (Fig. 4). A barium swallow and bronchogram were interpreted as normal except for incomplete filling of the 534 THE ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY

The patient improved on mist, oxygen, penicillin, and streptomycin and was discharged home on the eighteenth hospital day. He returned to the hospital at the age of 12 weeks with persistent cough and respiratory distress. Physical examination revealed a normal temperature, a pulse rate of 180, and respirations sixty per minute. There was cyanosis, chest retraction, wheezing on the left side, and diminished breath sounds over the right upper chest. The remainder of the physical examination was negative. A chest x-ray revealed a hyperaerated left lung, collapse of the right upper lobe, and a mediastinal shift to the right. The patient was treated with oxygen, mist, and antibiotics; however, the respiratory distress progressed. A bronchoscopy was done, and a large amount of thick mucoid material was aspirated from the left main-stem bronchus. Twenty-four hours later he had a sudden respiratory arrest and died. At autopsy a 3 x 3 x 1.5 cm. noncommunicating bronchogenic cyst was found in the subcarinal area compressing the left main-stem bronchus (Fig. 5). The cyst contained thick greyish fluid and was lined with ciliated columnar epithelium. There were several blebs over the left lung, pneumonic infiltration in the right lower lobe, and collapse of the right middle lobe and left lower lobe. No other significant findings were noted. DISCUSSION Bronchogenic cysts result from an abnormal budding or branching of the tracheobronchial tree. The cyst may be joined to the tracheobronchial tree by a fistula tract or by a fibrous band. The cysts are thin walled, single or multiple, and lined by ciliated columnar epithelium. They contain mucoid material, desquamated epithelial cells, or cartilage [4, 16, 181. Cysts that produce symptoms of acute respiratory distress are usually paratracheal or subcarinal in their location (Table 1). Direct VOL. 4, NO. 6, DEC.,

This air trapping leads to overdistension, subsequent mediastinal shift, and often fatal cardiorespiratory distress (Fig. 6). In the presence of a bronchial fistula the cyst may empty its viscid contents into the bronchial lumen, producing an intrabronchial obstruction. Symptoms may appear early in infancy and consist of periodic episodes of progressive dyspnea, respiratory wheezes, and cyanosis. The symptoms may be aggravated by crying, feeding, or upper respiratory infection [l, 2, 151. The clinical course of this disease may be rapid, progressive deterioration, ending with death. The majority of early reported cases were diagnosed at autopsy (see Table 1). Cysts that do not cause symptoms in infancy may be found later in life on routine chest x-ray or incidentally at autopsy. Chest x-rays in such patients may show overdistension of one lung, mediastinal shift, and atelectasis [ 1, 15, 19, 203. Bronchoscopy may reveal widening of the carina, narrowing of one of the main-stem bronchi, and presence of thick mucoid material [15, 251. A bronchogram usually shows widening of the carina and narrowing of one of the main-stem bronchi (see Fig. 3). If a bronchial fistula is present, the cyst may be outlined by the contrast medium 538 THE ANNALS OF THORACIC SURGERY

An esophagogram may show an external filling defect at the level of the carina [ll, 14, 201.

Swyer-James syndrome [23, Tuberculous mediastinal adenopathy The ideal treatment of bronchogenic cyst is its total excision. Partial removal or needle aspiration may result in recurrence, as happened in Case 1. Tracheostomy is a lifesaving operation in the acute respiratory phase of this disease [15]. Discontinuation of the tracheostomy in a patient who has not had the cyst excised may result in recurrence of respiratory distress, as in Case 1 [15]. Pulmonary resection is not needed to cure these patients [15]. During surgical exploration a search should be made for cardiovascular anomalies. SUMMARY Two infants with acute respiratory distress produced by bronchogenic mediastinal cysts are presented. One patient s cyst communicated with the bronchus, while the second patient s did not. The clinical features were similar in that each had increasing dyspnea, intercostal retraction, and overdistension of one lung with a mediastinal shift. The diagnostic workup for bronchogenic cysts should include chest x-ray, bronchoscopy, bronchogram, and esophagogram. Tracheostomy can be a lifesaving procedure, but recurrence of severe dyspnea may follow removal of the tracheostomy tube in patients who have not had an excision of the cyst. Total excision of the cyst is urgent once the diagnosis is made. Incomplete removal or needle aspiration of the cyst may be followed by recurrence. REFERENCES 1. Adams, F. H.
