Abstract

Descending necrotizing mediastinitis is an aggressive infective entity which develops secondary to infection and/or abscess of head and neck and causes high mortality unless a prompt and appropriate therapy including antimicrobial management is attained. A descending necrotizing mediastinitis following dental abscess was diagnosed in a 48-year-old male based on plain chest radiography, computerized tomography of the thorax and the clinical status. An external drainage of neck abscess and debridement of thoracic abscess tissue via thoracotomy were accomplished. The tracheal fistula that was found during this procedure was closed successfully. The patient has been disease free during 12-month follow-up.

Özet

Desendan nekrotizan mediyastinit, baş ve boyun bölgesi infeksiyon veya apselerine sekonder olarak gelişen, zamanı nda tanısı ve özellikle antimikrobiyal tedaviyi de kapsayan uygun cerrahi tedavisi yapılmadığı durumlarda mortalitesi yüksek olan agresif bir infektif olaydır. Sol molar diş apsesi sonrası desendan nekrotizan mediyastinit gelişen 48 yaşındaki hastamızda, tanı, toraksın posteroanterior grafisi, bilgisayarlı tomografi ve klinik tablo ile konuldu ve tedavisi boyundan apse drenajına ek olarak yapılan torakotomi ve debridman ile yapıldı. Bu arada saptanan trakeal fistül ise başarı ile onarıldı. 12 aydır izlenmekte olan hastada postoperatif herhangi bir patoloji saptanmadı.
