Overview
Mediastinitis may be classified according to the onset and duration of symptoms into 2 groups: acute or chronic.[1] Additionally, acute mediastinitis may be classified according to the cause of the disease.[2]
Classification
Mediastinitis may be classified according to the onset and duration of symptoms into 2 groups: acute or chronic. Each form of mediastinitis has a different pathophysiology and underlying etiologies.[1]
Acute
Acute mediastinitis may be classified according to the cause of the disease, which include esophageal perforation, head and neck infections, spread of another infection, and median sternotomy.[2]
Esophageal Perforation
- Boerhaave syndrome
- Nasogastric tube
- Swallowing foreign bodies
- Trauma
Head and Neck Infection
- Odontogenic infections
- Pharyngitis
- Tonsillitis
Spread of Other Infection
Median Sternotomy
Chronic
Chronic mediastinitis may be classified according to the cause, duration, and recurrence of the disease, which include:
Additionally, mediastinitis can be divided into two subcategories: focal or diffuse, which are differentiated by radiological findings.[3]
