Abstract Esophageal duplication cysts are rare congenital anomalies that are often symptomatic because of compression of surrounding structures. They are commonly diagnosed during childhood, with affected patients often presenting with abdominal pain or chest pain. Point-of-care ultrasound can be used as part of the emergency department evaluation of pediatric chest pain. We present a case of a 6-year-old boy who presented to the emergency department with worsening abdominal and chest pain, where point-of-care cardiac ultrasound identified a cystic structure in the posterior mediastinum.
