We present our first encounter with an adult-onset cervical thymic cyst presenting as a lateral neck mass as the sole symptom. Clinical, radiological and cytological evaluations are excellent tools to approach and assess cervical thymic cysts. Histopatholgical examination is the only mean to provide a definitive diagnosis. Adult-onset cervical thymic cyst is a rare entity but should be included in the differential diagnosis for lateral neck swelling. Surgical excision is both diagnostic and therapeutic, once malignancy has been exluded.

Research paper thumbnail of Contrast pooling in videofluoroscopic swallowing study as a risk factor for pneumonia in children with dysphagia

Secondarily, to determine in the same population, if laryngeal abnormalities or syndromic disorders increase the risk for pneumonia in the same timeframe. Retrospective cohort study. A chart review of pediatric patients that presented to the swallowing and dysphagia clinic at the Montreal Children's Hospital for a videofluoroscopic swallowing study in the last three years was conducted. Videofluoroscopic findings, patient characteristics, demographic data, and pneumonias occurring within 6 months after the study were recorded for all patients. Patients with unsuccessful swallowing studies, incomplete charts, extra-laryngeal etiologies for recurrent pneumonia, or who were lost to follow up were excluded. Of the 287 children who presented to the clinic, 239 patients remained after exclusion, of which 40 (16.7%) exhibited pooling and 199 (83.3%) did not. Children with pooling on videofluoroscopic swallowing study did not have significantly more pneumonias than patients without pooling (22.5% vs 17.1%, P=0.42). Secondary analyses revealed that laryngeal abnormalities were a significant independent risk factor (P=0.02) for pneumonia at 6 months, while being diagnosed with a syndrome was not (P=0.18). In this study of contrast pooling in videofluoroscopic swallowing study, there was no significant difference in pneumonia occurrence in patients with and without pooling at 6 months post study. Future prospective studies should be conducted to confirm these findings. The present review showed that feeding changes should not be made based on pooling alone.
