Summary

We report a patient with a mediastinal cyst compressing the left atrium that was diagnosed prenatally by fetal echocardiography. Postnatally, attempted aspiration guided by computerized tomography was unsuccessful. Because of respiratory distress, the cyst was removed surgically. Pathological examination revealed a bronchogenic cyst.
