A rare constellation of empyema, lung abscess, and mediastinal abscess as a complication of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration.
The introduction of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) brought about significant advancement in the field of bronchoscopy. The major indications for EBUS-TBNA are lung cancer staging and diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy. This procedure is minimally invasive and cost saving, and no complications have been described in large-scale studies. In this...
متن کاملSevere Mediastinal Abscess after Endobronchial Ultrasound with Transbronchial Needle Aspiration
Endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS‐TBNA) is a minimally invasive and safe technique which is universally accepted for the mediastinum and/or hilum lymph node biopsy. Severe infectious complications following EBUS‐TBNA were occasional, but sometimes life‐threatening.[1] Two patients with severe mediastinal abscess after EBUS‐TBNA were treated successfully with s...
متن کاملMediastinal abscess after endobronchial ultrasound with transbronchial needle aspiration: a case report

It has been perceived as a non-invasive and well tolerated procedure with minimal complications. We report the development and treatment of a severe complication that developed 2 weeks after the initial procedure in the form of a complex mediastinal abscess. EB...
متن کاملMediastinal lymphangioma treated using endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration.
Lymphangiomas are localized malformations of the lymphatic system that most commonly occur in the head and neck. However, less than 1% of all lymphangiomas are confined to the mediastinum. The standard treatment has been surgical excision, but the involvement of vital structures in the area local to the lymphangioma makes total excision virtually impossible in most cases. To our knowledge, ther...
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration in diagnosing mediastinal lymphadenopathy
CONTEXT The diagnosis of mediastinal lymphadenopathy is always a challenge. There always a need of a technique that is highly accurate as well as safe for diagnosis the same. AIMS The aim of the study is to assess the clinical usefulness and safety profile of endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) in diagnosing the patients with mediastinal lymphadenopath...
