“…8 Cross-sectional echocardiography has also been proposed as a first-line diagnostic procedure. 6 Using Doppler color flow mapping, we were clearly able to determine that the pulmonary venous return was encircling the cyst rather than flowing through it and excluded in this way congenital division of the left atrium ("cor triatriatum"). Furthermore, the structure could be identified outside the pericardium.…”

“…They may have dyspnea, stridor or cyanosis. 6 The cyst may communicate with the tracheobronchial tree and become infected. When located at the carina, a bronchogenic cyst may cause severe respiratory distress due to compression of one or both major bronchi, making early diagnosis and prompt removal necessary, as in our patient.…”

“…6) [2-4, 8, 11, 36-39]. -Bronchial cysts are only visible on US as long as they are fluid filled; if they have a connection with the bronchial tree, they may exhibit fluid air levels [37][38][39]. When the fluid is absorbed, an air-filled cyst remains, then becoming inaccessible by US.…”

Ultrasound (US) of the paediatric chest has become an established imaging tool that may supplement plain film findings helping to reduce or tailor other ionizing (sectional) imaging in a variety of paediatric conditions such as sequestration or pneumonia. US has been shown to offer valuable imaging alternatives, both reliably enabling diagnosis without need for ionising imaging such as in diaphragmatic palsy (traditionally diagnosed by fluoroscopy) and revealing additional information in patients with equivocal findings on radiographs or replacing follow-up examinations (for example, in pleural effusion). This review outlines the technical requisites for paediatric chest US applications and will discuss its diagnostic potential. Furthermore, it will consider US restrictions, mention some rare applications, and discuss the potential role of chest US in imaging algorithms of certain conditions.

Thoracic sonography has become an established imaging tool for evaluating specific paediatric thoracic diseases; particularly queries such as thymomegaly, pleural effusion, pulmonal sequester or thoracic small part pathology may be reliably addressed. Using appropriate ultrasound equipment the well trained and experienced investigator may diagnose these conditions without the need for a radiating imaging modality or help to evaluate equivocal findings on chest plain films. The important requisites as well as the established disease entities that pose an indication for thoracic ultrasound are listed and described. The restrictions and setbacks are discussed, and an algorithm for additional imaging and typical scenarios is supposed in order to help and encourage the meaningful and efficient use of this non-ionising, easy applicable imaging tool to chest queries. In conclusion, this review tries to give an overview of the restrictions and indications for thoracic sonography in neonates, infants and children as a useful imaging tool when indicated.
