| Popis: | A metallic mediastinal foreign body, which eroded into the esophagus and resulted in a mediastinal abscess, was removed through the mediastinoscope. Tubes for drainage and irrigation were easily inserted after the pus had been entirely drained. Satisfactory low-risk treatment was accomplished without the need for major surgical intervention. |
