 note = {PURPOSE: Congenital mediastinal cysts are an uncommon but important diagnostic group. Most of thesecysts are benign and asymptomatic in adults. However, some of them are clinically problematic due tothe compression of neighboring organs, infection, or perforation.CASE PRESENTATION: A 20-year-old man presented with severe dyspnea. Imaging revealed a mediastinalcyst in the subcarinal space compressing his right pulmonary artery and airway, which was later diag-nosed as a bronchogenic cyst. Due to quick symptom exacerbation, emergent cyst wall fenestration wasperformed through video-assisted thoracic surgery with “stand-by” extracorporeal membrane oxygena-tion. Complete cyst resection was difficult owing to adhesion of the cyst to the surrounding organs. Thesymptoms immediately resolved after surgery and the postoperative course was uneventful.CONCLUSION: Mediastinal bronchogenic cysts with life-threatening complications are rarely reportedin adults. However, this case was life-threatening due to airway and vascular compression; emergentsurgical care should be considered in such cases., International Journal of Surgery Case Reports, 64, pp.150-153; 2019},
