          Abstract

          <p class="first" id="d15805861e150">Mediastinitis is a rare but severe infection, defined as an inflammation of the connective tissues and structures within the mediastinum. Due to its proximity to vital structures, mediastinitis represents a highly morbid pathological process associated with a high risk of mortality. In most cases mediastinitis requires treatment in the intensive care unit. </p>
