Presentation
A report of this case and a review of the literature are presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
- Mediastinal Disease
CONTEXT: With the advent of modern anatomical and functional imaging technologies, application of cervical mediastinoscopy has decreased in diagnosis and staging of mediastinal diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
You may also be required to undergo several diagnostic tests, including: Blood Workup EKG PET Scan What to Expect Generally an outpatient procedure, mediastinoscopy is performed under general anesthesia. [northshore.org]
Treatment
This case report shows an uncommon complication after mediastinoscopy: pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch and its minimally invasive endovascular stenting treatment in order to facilitate the recovery and to allow minimal delay to oncological treatment [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The involvement of ipsilateral and contralateral mediastinal lymph nodes is associated with poor prognosis and usually excludes patients from upfront surgical treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
We reviewed 54 consecutive patients (34 men and 20 women) with mediastinal pathology of varied etiologies who underwent a standard cervical mediastinoscopy from January to December 2012. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
When tubes are inserted for pleural collections of unknown etiology, examination and biochemical analysis of the fluid may yield insight into the etiology. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Other indications include mediastinal lymphadenopathy of unknown etiology, mediastinal masses, primary tracheal tumors, and occasional esophageal tumors. [thoracickey.com]

Prevention
Overall, a futile thoracotomy could be prevented in 50% of patients by an additional mediastinoscopy. A representative lymph node aspirate, containing adequate numbers of lymphocytes, did not exclude metastases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
