Intramural bronchogenic cyst of the oesophagus

Bronchogenic cysts are relatively common mediastinal cysts. Here, we report removal of a rare paraoesophageal-type bronchogenic cyst by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery in a 52-year-old male patient. The defect of the oesophageal wall was successfully reinforced with an intercostal muscle flap.
