What are Mediastinal Cysts?
Mediastinal Cysts are non-cancerous growths located in the mediastinum — the space between the lungs that contains the heart, trachea, esophagus, and major blood vessels. These cysts may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired and are typically categorized based on their origin:
Bronchogenic cysts – from the respiratory tract
Esophageal duplication cysts
Pericardial cysts – near the heart
Thymic cysts – related to the thymus gland
While many mediastinal cysts are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally, others may cause significant symptoms if they compress nearby structures.
Symptoms of Mediastinal Cysts
Symptoms depend on the size and location of the cyst, and may include:
Chest pain or discomfort
Chronic cough
Difficulty breathing
Swallowing difficulties
Hoarseness of voice
Recurrent respiratory infections
In children, mediastinal cysts can cause feeding problems, noisy breathing (stridor), or developmental issues due to pressure on the airway or esophagus.
Diagnosis and Treatment in Ghaziabad
We use advanced imaging tools for diagnosis, including:
Chest X-ray
CT scan or MRI to determine size and relation to nearby organs
Endoscopic or bronchoscopic evaluation, if required
Treatment usually involves:
Surgical removal – especially if the cyst is large, symptomatic, or growing
Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) – a minimally invasive option with quicker recovery and less pain
Open surgery, if the cyst is complex or close to vital structures
All procedures are performed with utmost precision in our fully equipped thoracic surgical unit in Ghaziabad.
