Özet
Mediastinal enteric cyst is usually associated with segmental costovertebral malformations include Jarcho-Levin syndrome, spondylocostal dysostosis, and spondylothoracic dysostosis. We aimed to report a case of thoracal vertebral anomaly associated with a mediastinal enteric cyst. A 1 day-old girl patient was admitted to our clinic with symptoms of dyspnea, cyanosis, grunting and poor sucking. Low hairline, a short webbed neck, and flexion contracture in the left fourth phalanx were detected in her physical examination. Posteroanterior chest X-ray and thorax computerized tomography demonstrated a large cystic lesion at the right lung. Herein this newborn with respiratuar distress due to mediastinal enteric cyst associated with costovertebral malformation was reported. Copyright © 2009 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
