Highlights
Infant wheezing respiratory disease is common in daily pediatric practice [1] [2]
We report a case of a bronchogenic cyst in a 23-month-old infant treated with salbutamol combined with corticosteroid therapy for a third episode of breathing difficulty and wheezing
This is the case with congenital pulmonary malformations, including bronchogenic cysts, most of which are located in the mediastinum (85% of cases), are often diagnosed unexpectedly at late stages on patients presenting with difficulty breathing [3] [4]
Summary
Infant wheezing respiratory disease is common in daily pediatric practice [1] [2]. The difficulty of its management depends on its etiological research. The most represented are viral bronchopneumopathies [1] [2] which can be a source of diagnostic wandering likely to jeopardize the vital prognosis. This is the case with congenital pulmonary malformations, including bronchogenic cysts, most of which are located in the mediastinum (85% of cases), are often diagnosed unexpectedly at late stages on patients presenting with difficulty breathing [3] [4]. This case report underscores the need to mention, in addition to bronchopneumopathies, a congenital pulmonary.
