[Cystic opacity of the posterior mediastinum].
A patient with atypical clinical signs had a thoracic schwannoma in the left paravertebral gutter. Rigorous analysis of the standard x-rays, computed tomography examination and magnetic resonance imaging gave the diagnosis and guided surgical resection. The pathology report confirmed the imaging findings.
