We present a case of tubular esophageal duplication in a 3-day-old female newborn (38 weeks, 2,500 g) without concomitant abnormal development. Esophageal duplication was diagnosed based on the clinical picture, direct laryngoscopy, esophagography and computed tomography. The duplicated esophagus was resected by thoracoscopy leaving the orthotopic esophagus in place. Isolation from the pharynx was performed via a separate cervical incision. After a follow-up period of 20 months, the child returned to normal growth and development.

Oesophageal duplication cysts are a subtype of foregut cysts, associated with the presence of ectopic gastric mucosa. Gastric acid secreted by this mucosa can lead to complications. We report one such unusual case of complication leading to the formation of broncho-oesophageal fistula in a duplication cyst.

Article Synopsis
  • - Oesophageal duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations that can cause symptoms like difficulty swallowing, stomach pain, or respiratory issues, and may lead to serious complications requiring surgery.
  • - A 55-year-old woman underwent various imaging tests that showed a tumor near the oesophagogastric junction, leading to a decision for laparoscopic surgery to remove it, which confirmed it was a non-malignant mucinous cyst.
  • - Due to the uncertain relation between the cyst and the oesophageal wall, more extensive surgery (lower oesophagectomy and proximal gastrectomy) was performed instead of just removing the cyst.

Article Synopsis
  • * This report discusses a specific case of a dog with multiple foregut duplication cysts, including one located in the cervical esophagus connected to the trachea.
  • * Surgical resection of the cysts led to the dog's recovery, with no signs of recurrence observed after 12 months, suggesting surgery may be an effective treatment for these conditions.

We present a case of a three-month-old male who presented with a cervical esophageal duplication cyst requiring early surgical intervention. The patient presented with feeding difficulties, poor weight gain, and respiratory distress. Due to the position of the cervical esophageal duplication cyst and airway compression, this unique case required a multidisciplinary surgical approach involving both otolaryngology and cardiothoracic surgery.
