MEDIASTINAL BRONCHOGENIC CYST AND KLIPPEL-FEIL SYNDROME

Bronchogenic cysts either are rare or are rarely reported. In 1889 Hare1collected 520 cases of mediastinal disease from the literature and did not find any cases of bronchogenic cyst. From a review of the cases of congenital cysts of the lung reported by one of us (A. R.
