Çocuk Olguda Mediastinal Nöroenterik Kist

Neurenteric cysts are rare, with fewer than 35 cases presented in the literature. We report a case of posterior mediastinal neurenteric cyst in a 3-year-old boy presenting with respiratory distress, fever, and cough. Treatment consisted of excision of the cyst through a right posterolateral thoracotomy. Postoperative course was complicated with chylothorax and treated medically. The embryologic, diagnostic, therapeutic relationships of the case were discussed. Key words: Intestinal duplication, Neurenteric cyst, Mediastinal mass
