Key result
Video-assisted thoracoscopic resection successfully removed a mature mediastinal bronchogenic cyst in a 14-year-old boy with a rare coexistent left pericardial defect, resulting in good recovery.
Why the study?
Mediastinal bronchogenic cysts and pericardial defects are both rare, and their simultaneous occurrence is extremely rare.
Population

Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes the rare simultaneous occurrence of a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst and a left pericardial defect, highlighting their shared embryological origins.
Zhu et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Mediastinal bronchogenic cyst with left pericardial defect (n=1). Video-assisted thoracoscopic resection was evaluated on Surgical outcome and recovery. Video-assisted thoracoscopic resection successfully removed a mature mediastinal bronchogenic cyst in a 14-year-old boy with a rare coexistent left pericardial defect, resulting in good recovery.
