Abstract
We present the case of a 5-month-old infant with acute respiratory distress of one week of evolution, however, with recurrent events of this nature since birth. Plain chest X-ray and CT scan showed a giant bronchogenic cyst with thin walls and air inside in the right hemithorax. Managed with inhaled beclomethasone for 6 months, with surveillance until 3 years of age, when it showed total resolution.
