Symptoms of esophageal cyst?

summary

Esophageal cyst is a cystic mass located in the middle mediastinum. It is a part of the intestinal cyst. It is a malformation in the embryonic development of the fetus. Incidence rate is low. According to the different mucosal epithelium in the inner layer of the cyst cavity, enterogenous cysts can be divided into several types. Those with esophageal mucosal epithelium are called esophageal cysts? Now let me tell you something.

Symptoms of esophageal cyst?

The main clinical symptoms were respiratory symptoms of different degrees. Giant esophageal cysts can occupy most of one side of the thoracic cavity and compress the lung, and make the mediastinum shift to the contralateral thoracic cavity. Children may have severe respiratory distress. Esophageal obstruction manifested as dysphagia, reflux, nausea, vomiting, emaciation and chest pain. Severe chest pain often suggests hemorrhage in the cyst.

Sometimes, small esophageal cysts can also cause more serious airway obstruction, especially in the entrance of thoracic and tracheal carina. This kind of case needs emergency treatment. If it is not treated in time or improperly, the child will soon die of respiratory distress.

If the cyst gradually increases and compresses the trachea or bronchus, the patient may have the manifestation of tracheal obstruction, and some patients may also have the symptom of esophageal obstruction. The main symptoms of airway obstruction are cough, dyspnea and wheezing. Some patients show paroxysmal asphyxia and repeated respiratory tract infection.

matters needing attention

The treatment of esophageal cysts depends on the size and structure of the lesion and the degree of damage to the esophagus and adjacent structures. In infants with severe respiratory distress caused by huge esophageal cysts, as long as the diagnosis is clear, surgical treatment or suction decompression should be carried out in time.
