Cervical herniation of the apex of the lung into the soft tissues of the neck is a rare finding in the pediatric age group. Whereas in adults the etiology is either post-traumatic or secondary to chronic respiratory disease, in children the condition appears to arise spontaneously as the result of a congenital defect in the costovertebral fascia. Surgical treatment is rarely indicated unless there is evidence of incarceration, or progressive increase in size with resultant cosmetic deformity.
肺尖向颈部软组织的颈椎旁疝在儿童年龄组中是一种罕见的发现。在成人中，病因要么是创伤后，要么是继发于慢性呼吸道疾病，而在儿童中，这种情况似乎是由于肋椎筋膜的先天性缺陷而自发产生的。除非有嵌顿的证据，或因外观畸形导致尺寸逐渐增大，否则很少需要手术治疗。
