  provide an alkaline (...)

  Bronchogenic cysts of the neck
  Definition: Bronchogenic cysts are rare congenital malformations of ventral foregut development. They are usually located in the mediastinum and intrapulmonary regions, localization in the cervical area is unusual.
  The majority of bronchogenic cysts are diagnosed in the paediatric population, the location being either intra- or extra-thoracic.
  Intra-thoracic cysts are usually found in the anterior mediastinum or around the ilum and may remain connected to (...)
