Brief Answer:
Abnoramal growth in windpipe.Surgery is the choice

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for giving me an opportunity to address your query.

Cyst is a sac that is filled with liquid, air, or semi-solid tissue. Bronchial cyst is an abnormal cyst that develops in the trachea or lung. This cyst might compress the structures surrounding it. Sometimes it might rupture and bleed. I is always better to remove it by surgery.

It cannot be treated by vampire hickey though.

Hope this answers your query.

She did get surgery to have it removed. I was not asking if vampire hickeys can treated it. I was asking if it can be cause by vampire hickey. He did the vampire hickey suction on her neck before the surgery was performed and after it was noticeable. Could this be the cause of it?

Brief Answer:
No it cannot be caused by suction

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for writing back.

Branchial cyst is congenital(present at birth).It becomes evident when it becomes sufficiently big due to collection of fluid.It is definitely not caused by Vampire hickey suction rather this would have made it visible enough.

Glad to know that it has been removed.

Hope this answers your query.

Because it is a birth defect. Would this make the mother be the cause of the illness? As in, just because it was caused by birth. Does this mean the mother has an illness too?

Brief Answer:
Mother is not the cause

Detailed Answer:
Yeah its a birth defect.Mother is not the cause of illness.Cyst is formed due to abnormal cell division in the neck are in the fetus.

If the child has this defect it does not imply that the mother should have the cyst or mother is the cause of the cyst formation in her children.

Hope this clarifies your query.
