title: [Bronchogenic cysts of the mediastinum in children. Apropos of 14 cases].
abstract: Fourteen children, aged from 2 months to 14 years, underwent surgical excision of a bronchogenic cyst in the mediastinum. Nine of these children were asymptomatic and the finding of the tumor was purely accidental. Retrotracheal and subcarinal localizations were more often symptomatic but their visualization on standard chest roentgenograms was sometimes difficult. An oesophagogram was helpful for the diagnosis in those circumstances. No postoperative complication occurred in our series.
