The diagnosed condition was a communicating esophageal duplication cyst, presenting as a left cervical swelling in a neonate, which is rare.
Imaging studies including ultrasound and CT showed a cystic lesion with an air-fluid level, closely related to the esophagus, confirming the diagnosis.
The patient remained asymptomatic despite the cyst's significant size and unique positioning, underscoring the complexity of management.
Diagnosing such anomalies often poses challenges due to atypical imaging characteristics, necessitating careful evaluation.
