“…Furthermore, some reports asserted that infected PACs would be primarily managed with conservative treatment including antibiotics and O 2 supply if needed. 8,10) In addition, endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial fine needle aspiration was used effectively along with pharmacological treatment in some cases. 11,12) These conservative methods can be effective for conventional infection of PACs.…”

A paratracheal cyst is an air-filled cyst of the trachea line by respiratory ciliated epithelium. Most paratracheal cysts are usually asymptomatic and found incidentally on routine radiologic examination. However, symptoms such as cough or fever may occur due to chronic infection of paratracheal cysts and there are few case reports of infected paratracheal cysts. Recently, 75-year-old woman presented with fever and dyspnea. Cystic mass with inflammation was found at the right side of the trachea, which compressed the trachea. The mass was excised and pathologic examination revealed an epithelial cystic mass filled with fungal materials. Dyspnea and fever were subsided after the operation. Herein, we report our experience with literature review.

A paratracheal cyst is an air-filled cyst lined by a ciliated epithelium, commonly referred to as a tracheal diverticulum. The most common location of paratracheal cysts is the right side of posterolateral tracheal wall. It occurs in 0.3% to 8.1% of the total population. Most paratracheal cysts are asymptomatic and discovered incidentally on routine radiologic examination. Rarely, however, symptoms such as cough or fever are encountered and chronic infection of the paratracheal cyst usually present itself like a tucoberculosis or a tumor. There are few case reports of deep neck infection caused by a paratracheal cyst. We report a case of retropharyngeal abscess resulting from an infected paratracheal cyst.
