Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Multilocular thymic cysts are rare benign acquired lesions of the neck and mediastinum. In children, multilocular thymic cysts are usually symptomatic after the age of 2 years and produce few symptoms. We report an unusual case of a multilocular thymic cyst diagnosed in a 3-month-old girl, causing severe respiratory failure. We believe that this unusual presentation has not been previously reported in the literature. |
