Abstract:
Three children with symptomatic bronchogenic cysts are presented. Because of the variability in clinical presentation and the shortcomings of diagnostic procedures, bronchogenic cysts present a diagnostical problem. In view of the risk of serious complications an aggressive attitude towards all congenital cystic lung lesions is advised, even when they are asymptomatic. Surgical excision assures an excellent outcome in most cases, and is therefore the treatment of choice.
