Report on a 67-year-old man with echinococcus-granulosus-cysts in liver, lungs, spleen and mesentery since at least 31 years. In 1969 and 1974 surgical intervention was performed. In 1983 suppurative colliquation and spontaneous depletion by a fistula of a cyst of the liver, output of the cysts of the right lung by coughing. In 1986 spontaneous resorption of a cyst of the left lobe of the liver. In 1987 measurable shrinking of a cyst of the left lower lobe of the lung. Two until today existing cysts (spleen and upper part of the abdomen in the midline) are in supervision by sonography.
In a female patient with Dunbar-syndrome the cause of the complaints is not recognized during 18 years. Therefore, the symptomatology of the stenosis of the truncus coeliacus is briefly outlined. The patient reacts more and more neurotic on the misunderstanding of organically conditioned complaints, so that at last a consilium of experienced specialists makes the diagnosis "functional intestinal disturbances, hypchondriac depressive syndrome in accentuated personality". Therefore functional disturbances are to be diagnosed only then (also in the psychopathologic behaviour of the patients!), when an organic disease is excluded. The difficulty to justify such a demand is great.

On the basis of a follow-up period lasting at least 6 years concerning 23 patients, in whom on account of a Raynaud-syndrome a thoracoscopic sympathicotomy in the region Th 2-5 was carried out in most cases bilaterally in two sessions, in comparison with the sympathicectomy performed in major surgery can be established:no mortality, no serious complications, duration of stay in hospital 5-7 days, no absolute healing. In a follow-up period of the same length in an approach of major surgery absolute healings are possible, but only in 35%. This gain is loaded by a longer stay in hospital of at least 10 days and a mortality of 4.3% as well as by a complication rate of 6-41%, to which in 8-13% of the cases a Horner-syndrome comes. Therefore, before an approach in major surgery a thoracoscopic intervention is to be tried. The thoracoscopic operators should strive for a sympathectomy with destroy of the ganglia Th 2 and 3 instead for a sympathicotomy.
