Abstract
Esophageal duplication cysts are rare congenital lesions that occur as a result of a failure in the tubulation of the esophagus. They are most frequently single, tubular, or cystic. They may cause compressive symptoms or may be discovered incidentally on chest radiographs. They become symptomatic when complications develop. Symptoms often are related to the location of the duplication; esophageal lesions can create respiratory difficulties. The definitive diagnosis of esophageal duplication cysts requires the pathological evaluation of the cyst after surgical removal. We experienced a rare tubular esophageal duplication, in a 2-month old girl who presented with fever and grunting. This is the first reported case in which the sequence of events of ruptured tubular esophageal duplication with empyema, mediastinitis and aneurysm occured.
