Two cases of traumatic paramediastinal air cyst are presented with a review of the literature. This rare condition affects young people and usually occurs on the left side of the chest. Its course is spontaneously benign. Although they are usually easily diagnosed on chest roentgenograms, these cysts may sometimes be difficult to differentiate from other more serious traumatic lesions. Computed tomography (or a contrast swallow roentgenogram in some instances) can elucidate doubtful cases.
本文报告两例创伤性纵隔旁气囊肿，并复习相关文献。这种罕见疾病多见于年轻人，通常发生于胸部左侧。其病程呈良性自限性。虽然这些囊肿通常在胸部X线片上易于诊断，但有时可能难以与其他更严重的创伤性病变相鉴别。计算机断层扫描（在某些情况下可行吞钡造影X线检查）可明确诊断有疑问的病例。
