We report on a 7‐month old infant with severe respiratory distress secondary to a paratracheal bronchogenic cyst. Respiratory relief was achieved by transtracheal puncture of the cyst. Surgical removal of the cyst was performed 1 week later because of radiological evidence of reaccumulation of fluid. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2004; 38:488–490. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
