Mediastinal Diseases
Respiratory MedicineCardio Thoracic Surgery
Mediastinal diseases refer to a wide range of conditions that affect the structures within the mediastinum, the central compartment of the chest located between the lungs. This area contains vital organs such as the heart, major blood vessels, lymph nodes, and the trachea. Possible causes of mediastinal diseases include lymph node enlargement (caused by infections, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies), thymoma, abscess, malignant tumors, aortic aneurysm or esophageal disorders.
Diagnosis
| C-EBUS | Using ultrasound to penetrate the bronchial wall, it assists doctors in understanding the subtle structural abnormalities on the outer surface of the patient's trachea. |
Diagnosing mediastinal diseases requires a thorough investigation to determine the underlying cause and extent of the condition. EBUS is a minimally invasive procedure that combines bronchoscopy with real-time ultrasound imaging. It allows physicians to visualize the structures within the mediastinum and obtain high-resolution images of the lymph nodes and surrounding tissues. EBUS-guided needle aspiration can also be performed during the procedure to obtain tissue samples for further analysis. The advantages of EBUS include its real-time visualization capabilities, minimally invasive nature and good diagnostic yield.
