Endoscopic unroofing of a bronchogenic cyst

Pediatr Pulmonol. 1994 Jul;18(1):46-50. doi: 10.1002/ppul.1950180112.

Abstract

Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FFB) has become common practice for pediatric pulmonologists, allowing easier detection of certain abnormalities at an earlier stage. We report the endoscopic diagnosis of a large mediastinal bronchogenic cyst and its successful endoscopic unroofing in a symptomatic baby.
