Anaesthetic management in infants with thoracic and thoraco-abdominal duplication cysts
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Health Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Foregut duplication cyst are rare mediastinal masses that can occur in children. Though asymptomatic clinically, it can lead to disastrous complications after induction of general anaesthesia, like compression of airway which cannot be relieved even after endotracheal intubation. We here-by report anesthetic management of two infants who were operated in our hospital for excision of duplication cyst.
