Bronchogenic cysts are congenital anomalies which occur most commonly within the mediastinum. They may become complicated by fistula formation with the bronchial tree. We report a case of an adult male where such a complication occurred between the time of the patient's chest radiograph and his examination by computed tomography (CT). We believe that this is the first reported CT demonstration of an air-fluid level within a mediastinal bronchogenic cyst, in a typical site, presumed to be caused by rupture into the bronchial tree.
支气管源性囊肿是最常见于纵隔内的先天性异常。它们可能因与支气管树形成瘘管而变得复杂。我们报告一例成年男性病例，该并发症发生在患者胸部X光片检查至计算机断层扫描（CT）检查期间。我们认为，这是首次报道在典型部位的纵隔支气管源性囊肿内出现气液平面的CT表现，推测是由于囊肿破裂进入支气管树所致。
