Historical Perspective
Chronic mediastinitis was first described by Dr. Thomas T. Whipham, MD, a British physician, in 1899. In his article, he chronicled various examples of mediastinitis in patients, and concluded that the disease more frequently occurs in adults compared to children. Additionally, he observed that the majority of patients are males by a ratio of 4:1 but could not identify a specific etiology.[1]
