Paratracheal air cysts are lesions adjacent to trachea. They are often asymptomatic and are found usually as an incidental finding in imaging. The pathology of these lesions is unclear and they can be congenital or acquired. Paratracheal air cysts rarely cause symptoms in patients. In this report we present a 62-year-old woman with a large paratracheal air cyst that caused interesting rare symptoms such as dysphagia, dyspnea, and hoarseness who became completely symptom-free after treatment.
