Title
was changed:
Bronchogenic cyst vs. oesophageal duplication cyst
Body
was changed:
Bronchogenic cysts and oesophageal duplication cysts are embryological foregut duplication cysts and are also differential diagnosis for a cystic mediastinal mass.
Differences
Symptoms
- asymptomatic bronchogenic cyst
- symptomatic oesophageal cyst in the case of peptic ulceration
Plain radiograph (frontal)
Location
- bronchogenic cysts appear at a subcarinal location (most commonly)
- oesophageal cysts appear more tubular and
inin close relation to the oesophagus
CT
Cyst wall
- thin-walled bronchogenic cyst
- relatively thick-walled oesophageal cyst (due to the presence of smooth muscle)
