Anaesthesia for patients with mediastinal masses.
Anaesthesia for patients with mediastinal masses may be associated with significant respiratory and cardiovascular complications. In this review, we discuss the anatomical and pathological considerations in these adult and paediatric patients and the three types of intra-thoracic compromise that may be found: compression of the tracheobronchial tree, compression of the pulmonary artery and hear...
متن کاملConcurrent Mediastinal Masses in a Patient
A 16-year-old female with a history of neck hemangioma surgery presented with irritable coughs. A computed tomography scan showed anterosuperior and middle mediastinal masses (Figure 1). The patient underwent surgery and the upper and middle mediastinal lesions were removed (Figure 2A). Pathological examination confirmed that the upper and mid...
متن کاملCT evaluation of mediastinal masses.
CT is an important modality for imaging mediastinal masses, and certain CT attenuation features (fat, calcium, or water attenuation, contrast enhancement) are well known to suggest specific diagnoses. In a series of 132 consecutive patients with tissue-proven mediastinal masses, these specific CT features were present in only 16. We evaluated the ability of CT to differentiate soft tissue media...
متن کاملImaging of anterior mediastinal masses
Multiple different types of anterior mediastinal masses may be encountered on computed tomography (CT) imaging, and many of these lesions are neoplastic in etiology. These include masses arising from the thymus, thyroid and parathyroid glands, as well as lymph nodes, pericardium, and vessels and nerves. Often, the CT attenuation of the mass can be helpful in narrowing down the differential diag...
متن کاملMediastinal masses—transthoracic ultrasonography aspects
Mediastinal masses are usually assessed by computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Transthoracic ultrasonography (TUS) can also provide useful information concerning prevascular and posterior mediastinal masses abutting the thoracic wall, but is underused for mediastinal pathology. Moreover, it provides a valuable and safe method for guiding interventional procedures in t...
