For several weeks, he was prescribed antibiotics, prednisone, albuterol, and fluticasone without improvement. He acutely worsened and presented with respiratory distress attributed to status asthmaticus. He required emergent intubation, which was difficult given resistance when advancing the endotracheal tube (ETT). Cross-sectional imaging with computed tomography demonstrated a large superior mediastinal cystic mass with tracheal compression distal to the ETT. After transfer to our facility, he acutely decompensated with worsening ventilatory needs and hypotension requiring vasopressors. After a multidisciplinary discussion, he was brought to the operating room for aspiration of the mass and rigid bronchoscopy. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage of the mass was achieved with immediate improvement in his tidal volumes and evidence of alleviated obstruction on bronchoscopy. He was weaned from respiratory support and extubated postoperatively.
