| Popis: | The mediastinum is strategically located from the thoracic inlet to the diaphragm between the left and right pleural cavities and contains vital structures of the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems. Embryologic development leads to cells from ectodermal, mesodermal, and endodermal origin, ultimately residing in the small mediastinal compartment. Clinically, the mediastinum may be divided into superior and inferior compartments, with the inferior mediastinum being subdivided into anterior, middle, and posterior sections. The topographic landmarks in each division of the mediastinum allow for directed investigative, diagnostic, and therapeutic strategies. |
