A giant bronchogenic cyst associated with partial pericardial defect and anomalous origin of the right coronary artery

Abstract

Bronchogenic cyst combined with partial defect of the pericardium is a rare congenital anomaly, seldomly diagnosed in young children. We describe the case of a 20-month-old girl with anomalous origin of the right coronary artery and a giant bronchogenic cyst protruding into the pericardium and causing partial pericardial defect. The cyst was successfully resected and postoperative recovery was uneventful.
