AbstractThe authors give an outline of the issue of acute mediastinitis. It is a severe infection of connective tissue of the mediastinum. Timing of recognition and accuracy of drainage are the most essential conditions of successful treatment. Acute mediastinitis may be divided in the postoperative sternal infections with infection of the mediastinum, mediastinitis due to perforation of the aero-digestive tract and descending necrotizing mediastinitis. The authors describe etiopathogenesis, diagnostics and therapy in each particular type of mediastinitis.
