Mediastinal drainage in descending necrotizing mediastinitis
Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2013Descending necrotizing mediastinitis has been thoroughly described in the past, but we could not find a detailed description of the technique to perform adequate drainage and lavage of all the mediastinal and thoracic spaces. We describe the procedure as we perform it, emphasizing the sites for incision and proper drainage of all the mediastinal ...

This chapter focuses on mediastinitis. The mediastinum is the space in the thorax between the lungs. It houses the heart, great vessels, esophagus, trachea, thymus, and lymph nodes. The connective tissues of the mediastinum are continuous with the long fascial planes of the head and neck, one reason why mediastinitis was primarily a complication of ...

Acute mediastinitis occurs as a result of contamination of the mediastinum secondary to perforation of the esophagus or trachea. Rarely, mediastinitis can develop from descending retropharyngeal or cervical abscesses (“descending cervical mediastinitis”) or from the rupture of suppurative mediastinal lymph nodes.

Parapharyngeal abscess secondary to quinsy is a well understood complication; however, its incidence has significantly declined following early use of effective antibiotics. Tracking of infection from the parapharyngeal space through the anatomical planes to cause mediastinitis has a significant mortality rate and requires early detection and ...

We present a case of mediastinal paraganglioma with radiologic-pathologic correlation. A 48-year-old woman was found incidentally to have a middle mediastinal mass on CT. The mass showed iso-signal intensity compared to that of muscle on T1-weighted images and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images.

A case of meningioma appearing to arise from the stellate ganglion and associated with a unilateral Horner syndrome of long standing is presented. Clinical absence of central nervous system involvement and a normal computerized tomographic scan of the brain favor the neoplasm as being a primary extracranial meningioma.

The mediastinal waltz – A representation of asymmetrical mediastinal anatomy
Anatomical Sciences Education, 2011AbstractThis article describes a representation formed by a waltzing couple of two students that can be used to teach the asymmetrical anatomical relationships among the trachea, bronchi, pulmonary trunk, and the pulmonary arteries in the mediastinum.

Sclerosing Mediastinitis Mimicking Anterior Mediastinal Tumor
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2009A 54-year-old asymptomatic man presented with an anterior mediastinal mass discovered on chest roentgenogram. Chest computed tomography revealed a noncalcified round mass in the mediastinum. A white solid mass, 5-cm in diameter, had arisen from the pericardial adipose tissue with multiple small nodular lesions mimicking mediastinal tumor with pleural ...

A 69-year-old man with lymphocytic leukemia presented with fever, a pericardial friction rub, widening of the mediastinum, and left pleural effusion. Atrial fibrillation, refractory hypotension and acute paraplegia punctuated his hospital course. Invasion of the mediastinum, myocardium, mediastinal, coronary and spinal arteries with mucormycosis was ...
