Summary

Of eight benign mediastinal tumors which were operated on during the past 20 years, four were ganglioneuromas, 3 cysts and one a thymoma. Of these only three caused typical complaints. After removal of the tumors which was always carried out by the transpleural route, a bilateral Horner's syndrome appeared postoperatively in one of the cases. The further clinical course in all eight cases was normal and no complications were seen during routine check ups.

Nach stets transpleuraler Tumorexstirpation trat p. op. nur einmal ein doppelseitiger Horner auf, der weitere Heilverlauf aller 8 nachkontrollierten Fälle war komplikationslos.
