A rare cause of recurrent wheezing in children: Bronchogenic cyst

Bronchogenic cysts are benign congenital anomalies caused by aberrant development of the foregut in the embryonic period. these anomalies are located in the posterior part of the carina and constitute about 50% of all mediastinal lesions. in childhood, bronchogenic cysts may be asymptomatic or cause symptoms due to pressure on the respiratory tract. the duration and severity of the symptoms are main determinants for the developments of chronic lung diseases. in this paper, we presented an infant case with bronchogenic cyst admitted to our clinic with recurrent wheezing.
