Presentation
The age distribution of patients who present with BCs shows a significant predominance towards young individuals compared with the elderly. [ingentaconnect.com]
Presented in an accessible and useful format, this text is a valuable reference to all practitioners participating in the care of this high-needs population. [books.google.com]
Their clinical presentation, radiological, operative, and pathological findings were analyzed retrospectively. Results There were five boys and five girls, ranging in age from 16 days to 6 years (mean 6.5 months). [link.springer.com]
Here we describe a case of male neonate antenatally diagnosed with a mediastinal cyst but presented to us at 18 days of age with cough and intermittent dyspnoea. The X ray chest and CT confirmed a septate posterior mediastinal cyst on right side. [marinemedicalsociety.in]

Dysphasia
The clinical signs and symptoms included respiratory distress in seven patients (70%), cyanosis in four (40%), chronic cough and fever in five (50%), and dysphasia in two (20%). [link.springer.com]
Workup
Upper gastrointestial barium series and ultrasonography were also performed as part of patients’ workup, but were rarely diagnostic. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]
Expected results of diagnostic studies Laboratory studies are rarely necessary in the workup of cutaneous bronchogenic cysts as the diagnosis relies on histology. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
No further workup is indicated if there is no direct evidence of aortic injury and no mediastinal haematoma on CT [ 38 ]. Fig. 13 Traumatic aortic pseudoaneurysm. [link.springer.com]

Type I lesions have the best prognosis. For those surviving surgical resection, the prognosis is excellent with compensatory lung growth of the remaining segments. [hawaii.edu]
Prognosis depends on the size of the lesion, and the degree of functional impairment. Small lesions may remain asymptomatic. Failure to recognize a malformation may lead to inappropriate intervention. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology
Etiology Pathophysiology Bronchogenic cysts are congenital developmental abnormalities of the tracheobronchial tree. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

Anterior migration of an intra thoracic bronchogenic cyst or pinching off of the fusing sternal bars on the developing lung parenchyma explains the etiology of cutaneous bronchogenic cyst on anterior chest wall, as seems to have happened in the present [pjms.com.pk]
Background • Lung herniation is an extension of lung tissue into chest wall through a rib cage defect in bony thorax • rare • More likely to occur when etiology causes increase in intrathoracic pressure or decrease in chest wall resistance • Classified [slideshare.net]
The etiology is unclear and is believed to be abnormal fusion of the second and third arches or nonfusion at the level of the ectoderm. [emedicine.medscape.com]
