Mediastinal Bronchogenic Cysts Resection in Adults: Results of Vats and Thoracotomy Procedures.

Background: The objectives of our study are to evaluate our surgical experience of mediastinal bronchogenic cyst (MBC) and to determine the results of resection by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and posterolateral thoracotomy (PLT).

Methods: The demographic characteristics, clinical and radiological features intraoperative data, outcomes and fol- low-up information were reviewed and analyzed from 38 patients who underwent resection of a MBC between 2008 and 2019.

Idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis and ankylosing spondylitis. A new case report.

Inflammatory low back pain and acute renal insufficiency prompted a computed tomography scan of the abdomen with contrast agent injection. A fibrous sheath surrounding the aorta and attracting the ureters toward the midline was seen, strongly suggesting retroperitoneal fibrosis.
