Al-Naaman, Y. D., Al-Ani, M. S., and Al-Omeri, M. M. (1974).Thorax, 29, 475-481. Primary mediastinal tumours. A review of 28 patients with primary mediastinal tumours seen over a five-year period is presented. Clinical and pathological features of a heterogeneous group of tumours are emphasized. Since a number of patients presented with mild symptoms or were asymptomatic (especially adults), the importance of routine chest radiographs is stressed. Complete excision was accomplished in all patients with benign lesions. Malignant lesions were usually partially resectable and carried a poor prognosis.
In the past we have performed diagnostic bronchoscopy on a group of paraplegic patients in whom the induction of topical anesthesia in the usual way was difficult. For these patients, a method of applying local anesthesia was developed which was so effective and simple that it has become our preferred technique in the preparation of all adult patients for endoscopy or bronchography. Anesthetization can be done very quickly and effectively. This method has been used approximately 150 times with no major or minor complications.

Two previously unreported cases of traumatic ventricular septal defect are presented. One, which is an unusual occurrence, has been diagnosed on clinical evidence as a ventricular septal defect resulting from a gunshot wound of the chest. The defect has been successfully repaired in one of the patients. The etiology, prognosis and indications for operation in these cases are briefly discussed.
