Intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital anomalies that often present diagnostic and management challenges due to nonspecific symptoms. We report a one-year-old female with progressive respiratory distress who was initially misdiagnosed with pneumothorax. Imaging revealed a large intrapulmonary cyst, and surgical excision confirmed the diagnosis. Early intervention ensured a favorable outcome, with no recurrence in one year. This case highlights the importance of considering bronchogenic cysts in pediatric respiratory distress and emphasizes the value of timely surgical management.

A baby was diagnosed with esophageal atresia (EA) with tracheoesophageal fistula (TEF) on the next day after birth, and end-to-end anastomosis of esophagus with TEF ligation was performed. The distance between proximal and distal esophageal pouch was checked as 3 vertebral body lengths and a 1 cm-sized bronchogenic cyst (BC) was identified near carina on the right side, just below the proximal esophageal pouch. This case report described the baby who have a BC was located between the both esophageal pouch and a longer esophageal gap than usual EA with distal TEF.
