Subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts: Case series and literature review.

ABSTRACT: Bronchogenic cysts are congenital malformations caused by aberrant foregut budding. They major occur in the thorax, with subdiaphragmatic cases being uncommon. Here, we present a series of 19 patients diagnosed with subdiaphragmatic bronchogenic cysts histopathologically at a single institution in China from 2012 to 2021. A literature review was also conducted by searching the PubMed database using keywords related to "bronchogenic cysts" and "subdiaphragmatic," yielding 107 cases. Taken together, the 126 cases had a median age of 41.0 years (interquartile range, 30.0-51.0 years) and 62 of them were male (49.2%). The cysts were most commonly detected in the left adrenal region (36.2%), followed by the pancreatic region (11.5%) and gastric cardia/lesser curvature of the stomach (9.2%). All patients except two underwent surgery for a definite diagnosis, symptom alleviation, and (or) malignancy prevention. Most patients recovered fast and were discharged from the hospital within 1 week after surgery, and the surgical complications were infrequent. The prognosis was generally favorable, as no recurrence was reported during the follow-up as long as 77 months.

Project description:BackgroundTreatment of subdiaphragmatic collection by intercostal image-guided drain placement is associated with a risk of pleural complications including potentially life-threatening pleural empyema. Descriptions of patient characteristics and clinical course of postinterventional pleural empyema are lacking. We aim to present characteristics, clinical course and outcomes of patients with empyema after intercostal approach of drain placement.MethodsData was collected as a retrospective single center case series and included adult patients with decortication for treatment of pleural empyema after image-guided percutaneous intercostal drainage of a subdiaphragmatic collection between 01.01.2009 and 31.01.2021.ResultsWe identified ten patients, nine male and one female, all suffering from subdiaphragmatic collection treated with intercostal drain. All patients developed pleural empyema after drain placement and received surgical decortication. Similarities between patients were drain placement under computed tomography (CT)-guidance (eight of ten patients), lateral position of the drain (seven of ten patients), drain insertion in the eighth intercostal space (ICS) (six of ten patients) and existing comorbidities as malnutrition (six of ten patients), diabetes (four of ten patients) and cancer (three of ten patients). The majority of patients had a prolonged length of hospital stay (LOS) with an average duration of 40 days. Nearly half of the patients needed intensive care unit (ICU) treatment and one patient died postoperatively from respiratory exhaustion.ConclusionsIn this series, empyema after intercostal drainage was associated with prolonged LOS and was potentially life-threatening. The most commonly shared features in our cohort were the high prevalence of comorbidities, drain insertion above ninth ICS as well as lateral position of the drain. These factors should be addressed in prospective studies to evaluate potential correlation with postinterventional empyema. For optimal management of patients with subdiaphragmatic collection treated by intercostal drainage, awareness of potential associated complications is crucial.
