An esophageal mucocele is an uncommon complication after exclusion surgery of the thoracic esophagus. Although asymptomatic in most cases, it can progressively enlarge in size to cause symptoms requiring intervention. Occasionally, spontaneous decompression of its contents into the neck, mediastinum, peritoneal cavity, or tracheobronchial tree can occur, leading to potentially serious complications. We present a case of symptomatic esophageal mucocele after esophageal exclusion, complicated by the formation of an esophagobronchial fistula.
食管黏液囊肿是胸段食管旷置术后一种罕见的并发症。虽然大多数情况下无症状，但它可能会逐渐增大，导致需要干预的症状。偶尔，其内容物可自发减压进入颈部、纵隔、腹腔或气管支气管树，从而导致潜在的严重并发症。我们报告1例食管旷置术后出现症状性食管黏液囊肿，并伴有食管支气管瘘形成的病例。
