Hemodynamic compromise secondary to a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst

Chest. 1994 Aug;106(2):610-2. doi: 10.1378/chest.106.2.610.

Abstract

Bronchogenic cysts are not commonly the cause of severe symptoms, and often present only as an abnormality on chest roentgenogram. We report an unusual patient with a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst associated with rapid hemodynamic deterioration secondary to compression of vital structures.
