Abstract
A 3‑month‑old male child underwent uneventful inguinal herniotomy under general anesthesia. After
extubation, airway obstruction followed by pulmonary edema appeared for which the baby was reintubated
and ventilated. The baby made a complete recovery and extubated after about 2 h. A post‑operative computed
tomography scan revealed a posterior mediastinal cystic mass abutting the tracheal bifurcation. Presumably,
extrinsic compression by the mass on the tracheal bifurcation led to the development of negative pressure
pulmonary edema.
