Cervico-mediastinal lymphangioma.

Two cases of cervico-mediastinal lymphangioma ppesenting in adults are reported. In one the lesion originated in the mediastinum and only when advanced showed extension into the neck. The other was associated with a cervical cystic hygroma. Both wwer relieved by one-stage excision. Although they are benign, the tendency of these lesions is to become progressively larger, and to infiltrate between the vital structures in the neck and mediastinum. These features, and the importance of early surgery, are illustrated by the patients we now report.

Constrictive pericarditis following mild non-penetrating trauma.

A case of constrictive pericarditis developed within twenty-four days of mild, blunt thoracic trauma. Rapid progression from traumatic pericarditis to constriction is documented with clinical evidence, electrocardiographic changes and cardiac catheterisation data. Other manifestations of pericardial reaction after blunt chest trauma are reviewed briefly.

Silent mitral regurgitation.

The occurrence of significant mitral regurgitation whithout the characteristic auscultatory signs, particularly the holosystolic murmur and the third heart sound, is unusual. It becomes of considerable importance when it occurs in combined lesions of the mitral valve, and more so in those areas where the treatment of mitral stenosis is by closed mitral valvotomy. Two cases of silent mitral incompetence are presented. The features that should have indicated the coexistence of regurgitation with mitral stenosis were cardiomegaly with considerable dilatation of the left atrium, and lesser degrees of right ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiography for the severity of mitral stenosis and evidence of biventricular hypertrophy.
