Abstract

A 32-year-old man presented acutely with a ruptured esohageal duplication cyst. This is a rare complication from an unusual congenital condition. The case describes his clinical presentation, radiological investigation and surgical management. The pathology of the excised specimen is described and a literature review concludes that complete surgical resection of an esophageal duplication is always recommended, even if the condition is asymptomatic. Conventionally this is achieved via a thoracotomy, however thoracoscopic-assisted excision may have a role. © 2004 ISDE.
