1045 Endoscopic Fenestration of a Symptomatic Esophageal Duplication Cyst

A 52 year-old female with a past medical history of gastroesophageal reflux and hypertension presented with a chief complaint of gradual onset substernal chest pressure and intermittent dysphagia. Cardiac evaluation of her symptoms was negative. CT scan of the chest demonstrated a mass in the posterior mediastinum which was compliant with the distal esophagus. Upper endoscopy with endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) demonstrated an anechoic cyst located between the left atrium and esophagus; the cyst was clearly associated with the esophageal wall.
