“…Respiratory symptoms can also occur. 2,3,8,10 More rarely, respiratory distress, 2,12 and Horner's Syndrome have been reported 13 Diagnosis can be made by radiography, with a number of duplications discovered incidentally on chest X-ray. 6 Con- trast swallow is more specific, which demonstrates a double oesophagus with contrast flowing in both lumens.…”

“…Associated anomalies can occur and consideration should be taken for further imaging to exclude vertebral and urinary tract abnormalities 2 3. The histological criteria to confirm the diagnosis of CDC are cyst attachment to the cervical oesophagus, a smooth muscle layer within the cyst wall and cyst contents of squamous epithelium or a lining of the embryonic oesophagus.…”

SummaryWe describe the case and present a radiological image of a neck lump identified antenatally with ultrasound imaging. Postnatally a leftsided asymptomatic neck lump was identified in the left posterior triangle of the neck. Repeat ultrasound and CT imaging were arranged confirming a cyst adjacent to the cervical oesophagus and displacing the carotid sheath anteriorly. Complete cyst excision was achieved with no complications. Histological analysis identified a 30×22×20 mm cyst with a smooth muscle layer within the cyst wall and a lining of respiratory epithelium. These findings were consistent with a diagnosis of cervical duplication cyst (CDC). Proximity to the carotid sheath and oesophagus can make CDC excision potentially dangerous hence preoperative CT scanning was useful to establish the anatomical relations of the cyst in this case.

A 16-month-old boy vomits a double tongue: intraluminal duplication of the cervical esophagus in children

A 16-month-old boy presented with a story of stridor, solid dysphagia and a history of spectacular protrusion underneath his tongue which was mistaken by the parents for a snake's tongue! The radiological examinations showed a filling defect of the upper and middle third esophagus which compressed the cervical trachea. This was found to be an intraluminal tubular esophageal duplication. Treatment by cervicotomy and unusual histological facts are presented.
