Air-filled paratracheal bronchogenic cysts are extremely rare. They are lined by respiratory epithelium. We have operated on 2 patients whose cysts were diagnosed by CT scan: one presenting with bloody sputum and the other with dysphagia. Both patients had a history of neck surgery. Because such cases are rare in the literature, their exact origin, whether tracheocele, diverticulum or other form of air-filled cyst, remains a matter of debate. However, their frequency is probably underestimated because most cause few symptoms and are well tolerated. In a recent radiologic study their prevalence was found to be 2% in patients undergoing CT scan.
气管旁含气支气管囊肿极为罕见。它们由呼吸道上皮细胞衬里。我们对2例经CT扫描诊断为囊肿的患者进行了手术：1例表现为咯血，另1例表现为吞咽困难。两名患者均有颈部手术史。由于此类病例在文献中很少见，其确切起源，无论是气管膨出、憩室还是其他形式的含气囊肿，仍存在争议。然而，它们的发生率可能被低估了，因为大多数引起的症状很少且耐受性良好。在最近的一项放射学研究中，发现接受CT扫描的患者中其患病率为2%。
