| | Sonographic Approach To The Superior Mediastinum |
 | | Once the abnormality is localised topographically, US can offer information with regards to its structure of origin, size, solid or cystic nature, internal architecture, calcification, areas of breakdown, necrosis, collection and any evidence of vascular compromise [1, 2, 3]. | | | However with careful attention to technique and positioning of the patient, most areas of superior mediastinum can be assessed, using arteries and veins as reference road maps. | | | We present our experiences with sonographic evaluation of the superior mediastinum from a large series of patients assessed in our institution over a period of last four years as a pictorial essay. |

| | A breakdown in the repair of the ruptured pharyngeal mucosa that had been performed during the initial surgery was suspected. | | | Fluctuation in the negative intrathoracic pressures tends to draw the contents of the fascial spaces into the mediastinum. | | | However, if mediastinitis is diagnosed before it reaches the morbid pathological state, appropriate antibiotic therapy and well-planned surgical intervention may favorably alter the prognosis. |

| | Mediastinum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The mediastinum is a non-delineated group of structures in the thorax (chest), surrounded by loose connective tissue. | | | Pneumomediastinum is the presence of air in the mediastinum, which can lead to pneumothorax, pneumoperitoneum, and pneumopericardium if left untreated in some cases, though that does not always happen and sometimes those conditions actually are the cause, not the result, of pneumomediastinum. | | | As the infection can progress very quickly, this is a serious condition. |

| | Although various radiologic methods have been proposed for subdividing the mediastinum, no single approach is universally applied. | | | Primarily mediastinal tumors are a heterogeneous group of neoplastic, congenital, and inflammatory conditions.[3] Neurogenic tumors, thymomas, and benign cysts account for approximately 60% of surgically resected lesions while lymphoma, teratomas, and granulomatous diseases together comprise an additional 30%.[1] In nonsurgical series, vascular lesions, typically aortic aneurysms, account for 10% of mediastinal masses. | | | It divides the mediastinum into anterior, middle, and posterior compartments based on the lateral chest radiograph (Fig 1). |
