Abstract

A 43-year-old male was admitted to our hospital complaining of dyspnea and wheezing sound at respiration. He had received esophageal exclusion and esophagogastrostomy due to spontanous esophageal rupture 1-year ago. Chest computed tomography revealed esophageal mucocele like that of mediastinal tumor. Trachea is compressed by esophageal mucocele. The operation was performed by resection of thoracic esophagus through right open thoracotomy. Herein we report a case of a tracheal compression by esophageal mucocele after surgical exclusion of the esophagus.

43세 남자 환자가 호흡곤란과 호흡시 나타나는 천명음을 주소로 내원하였다. 환자는 과거력상 1년전에 식도파열로 인하여 식도격리술과 식도위문합수술을 시행받았다. 흉부 컴퓨터 단층촬영상 기관을 압박하는 식도점액류가 마치 종격동 종양처럼 나타났다. 수술은 우측 개흉술을 통하여 식도를 절제하였다. 저자들은 이를 치험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
