Özet

Bronchogenic cyst, cystic adenomatoid malformation, bronchopulmonary sequestration and lobar overinflation are rare congenital pulmonary malformations, which may sometimes be rapidly fetal if not recognized and treated promptly. Among those, bronchogenic cyst is the most common type of the lung cyst. Between 1985 and 1992, 3 infants and a 6 year old girl with bronchogenic cysts were treated surgically in our clinic. The most common presentations were respiratory distress, cyanosis, and a pulmonary cystic mass found incidentally on a routine chest x-ray. This pulmonary malformation must be included in the differential diagnosis of the respiratory distress of the newborn, infant and child.
