[Bronchogenic cyst disclosed by pericarditis. Value of transesophageal echocardiography apropos of a case]. / Kyste bronchogénique révélé par une péricardite. Intérêt de l'échocardiographie transoesophagienne à propos d'un cas.

ABSTRACT

Pericarditis is one of the possible complications of mediastinal teratoma. Bronchogenic cysts are the commonest mediastinal cysts and may be observed at any age. We report our diagnosis of a bronchogenic cyst by transoesophageal echocardiography. It was successfully excised surgically. This is the eleventh case published in the world literature.
