Bronchogenic Cyst – Rare cause of Airway Reactivity? Karen Ferreira Patella, Alexandre Kazantzi Fonseca Ribeiro, Leonan Tavares Galvão

Abstract

The bronchogenic cyst presents as a benign congenital lesion that represents between 6% to 15% of the mediastinal masses. The locations and preference are paratracheal and canals. They are often asymptomatic and constitute a radiological finding, but may present symptoms of compression or irritation of adjacent structures. In the pediatric age group, it can be licalized in the mediastinum. This paper aims to study bronchogenic cysts that simulate bronchial hyperactivity in children.
