title: Oesophageal duplication cyst: another cause of neonatal respiratory distress.
abstract: Oesophageal duplication cysts in infants (usually males) should be recognized as a cause of respiratory distress which worsens during the neonatal period, and which is associated with feeding difficulties. Their radiological appearance is that of a right-sided posterior mediastinal mass, which is shown to be cystic on ultrasound. Excision is curative.
