  1. ANTERIOR MEDIASTINUMSurgical pathology The 3rd. Surgical Unit Feb.2009

  2. Limits of the superior mediastinum anterior - manubrium of the sternum posterior - anterior surface of bodies of vertebrae T1-T4 superior - plane of the thoracic inlet inferior - plane of the sternal angle lateral - mediastinal pleura

  3. Transverse plane

  4. Planes in the superior mediastinum from anterior to posterior • glandular plane • venous plane • arterial-nervous plane • visceral plane • lymphatic plane

  5. Manubrium of the sternum + the cartilage of the first rib = anterior boundary of the A-S mediastinum

  6. The first plane is the glandular plane. It consists of two lobes and is mainly fat in the adult with small islets of active thymic cells scattered throughout

  7. The second plane is the venous plane and consists of the: left brachiocephalic vein, right brachiocephalic vein, SVC

  8. The third plane is the arterial-nervous plane aortic arch and its branches : brachiocephalic artery, left common carotid artery, left subclavian artery nerves: left and right vagus nerves, left and right phrenic nerves

  22. WHAT’S THAT ?

  23. MEDIASTINAL MASS, RETROSTERNALLYLYMPHOMA

  24. MEDIASTINAL MASSTHYMOMA

  25. LATERAL VIEW CXRTHYMOMA

  26. GUIDELINES Whenever you see a mass on a chest x-ray that is possibly located within the mediastinum, your goal is to determine the following: • Is it a mediastinal mass? • Is it in the anterior, middle or posterior mediastinum? • Are you able to characterize the lesion by determining whether it has any fatty, fluid or vascular components?

  27. Statistically, it is important to remember the following: Most masses (> 60%) are: • Thymomas • NeurogenicTumors • Benign Cysts • Lymphadenopathy (LAD) • In children the most common (> 80%) are: • Neurogenictumors • Germ cell tumors • In adults the most common are: • Lymphomas • LAD • Thymomas • Thyroid masses

  28. Localize to the mediastinum Left. A lung mass abutts the mediastinal surface and creates acute angles with the lung. Right. A mediastinal mass will sit under the surface of the mediastinum, creating obtuse angles with the lung.

  29. Localize within the mediastinum • The mediastinum can be divided into anterior, middle and posterior compartments.It is important to remember that there is no tissue plane separating these compartments. • On the lateral radiograph the anterior and middle compartments can be separated by drawing an imaginary line anterior to the trachea and posteriorly to the inferior vena cava. • The middle and posterior compartments can be separated by an imaginary line passing 1 cm posteriorly to the anterior border of the vertebral bodies.This division allows us to make a more narrow differential diagnosis.

  30. On the PA film there is a lobulated widening of the superior mediastinum.On the lateral chest film the retrosternal clear space is obliterated.This happened to be a patient with lymphoma.

  31. FDG-PET images of the same patient.There are multiple lymphatic masses in the anterior, middle and even posterior mediastinum, spreading to the neck.

  32. On the chest film there is a mass that has obtuse angles with the mediastinum, so it is a mediastinal mass.The anterior location was confirmed on a CT.Most commonly this will be a mass of thymic or lymphatic origin.This proved to be a lymphoma in a HIV-positive patient.

  33. Substernal parathyroid adenoma CT revealed an encapsulated mass of 3 cm in the upper anterior mediastinum behind the sternum-clavicular joints, with marked peripheral enhancement (arrow).

  34. Tc-99m-sestamibi substraction image showed an area of intense uptake below the inferior pole of the left thyroid lobe, in the upper mediastinum, in the left median position and normal thyroid with homogenous radiopharmaceutical uptake (arrow)

  35. Cystic masses The anterior mediastinum is an important location for cystic masses. Masses can be entirely cystic (thymic cysts) or have solid components (lymphoma or cystic thymoma). Some masses are cystic with enhancing septations - in these cases you should think of a germ cell tumor.

  36. The CT shows an anterior mediastinal mass with water density attenuation.This is typical for a thymic cyst.

  37. The CT shows a mass located in the anterior mediastinum.The mass is cystic but has solid enhancing septa.This finding is very specific for a germ cell tumor.

  38. The CT shows a mass located in the anterior mediastinum.The mass is cystic but has solid enhancing components, so ? lymphoma, germ cell tumor and cystic thymoma.This proved to be a cystic thymoma.

  39. LEZIUNI TIMICE TIMUS HIPERPLAZIC TIMUS ATROFIC TUMORI TIMICE TIMUS NORMAL +/- MIASTENIA GRAVIS sau alte BOLI AUTOIMUNE

  40. MIASTENIA GRAVISDefinitie, Kirschner, 1991 • Clinic- fatigabilitatea muschilor voluntari la efort repetitiv, cu refacere la odihna • Electrofiziologic- raspuns decrement la stimularea repetitiva-EMG • Farmacologic- raspuns pozitiv la tensilon • Patologic- modificari histo-pat. timice si structurale la nivelul R. Ach. si placa n-m. • Imunologic- prezenta Ac. antiR Ach. si raspuns favorabil la imunosupresie

  41. BV, 17 ani, MG-Oss-IIB, op.1998,AP-HPT, remisie completa

  42. NA, 39ani, MG-Oss-IV (6 ani istoric)op.12-III-1997, AP-HLT, deces- 20.III.1997

  43. MIASTENIA GRAVIS • Boala autoimuna dobindita – necunoscute??? • Ce declanseaza aparitia bolii? • De ce sunt miastenici sero-negativi? • De ce exista variabilitate mare de raspuns la tratament: remisie completa, remisie farmacologica, ameliorare, agravare, fara raspuns, deces- insuf. resp. acuta? • De ce un timus normal poate induce boala? • De ce apare miastenia dupa indepartarea unui timom?

  44. Patogenie autoimuna

  45. Modificari de placa neuro-musculara

  46. MIASTENIA GRAVIS • Tratamentul- nu este inca standardizat; • Discipline implicate in management: neurologie, imunopatologie, histopatologie, endocrinologie, radiologie, medicina nucleara, chirurgie, anesteziologie, oncologie ( radioterapeut, chimioterapeut)

  47. CAI DE ABORDMEDIASTINUL ANTERIOR • TORACOTOMIE • STERNOTOMIE • CERVICOTOMIE • ABORD MIXT • TORACOSCOPIC • MEDIASTINOSCOPIC

  48. TORACOTOMIA ANTERO-LATERALA • AVANTAJE: • Poate fi prelungita posterior • Poate fi prelungita prin sectiunea transversala a sternului • Poate fi asociata cu o cervicotomie • Expune bine pediculul pulmonar si vasele mari • Incizie estetica situata in santul submamar • DEZAVANTAJE • Acces dificil pentru planul traheo-bronsic • extremitatea sa interna ramine un punct slab, greu de inchis
