[Mediastinal bronchogenic cysts in adults. Cardiovascular symptomatology (author's transl)].

The authors describe seven patients operated upon for mediastinal bronchogenic cysts and emphasize the problems of differential diagnosis from cardiac and vascular affections: enlarged left auricle and aneurysm of the thoracic aorta. They review the published literature on atypical bronchogenic cysts with cardiac or vascular symptoms, and the diagnostic problems they raise in adults.
