[Cervical pulmonary hernia].
Pulmonary hernia is in general a rare affection--in particular in the cervical region. Symptoms are as a rule slight and are encountered only in exceptional cases. The diagnosis is based on physical examination and imaging techniques. The authors submit a case-history of a cervical pulmonary hernia in a young woman. It was noteworthy because of marked complaints of the patient which involved professional damage. Therefore it had to be treated by surgery which was successful.
