Pulmonary vascular occlusion and fibrosing mediastinitis.
Patients with fibrosing mediastinitis causing obstruction of pulmonary veins and arteries may present with many of the historic, physical, and laboratory findings of patients with pulmonary hypertension due to chronic thrombotic obstruction of major pulmonary arteries. Because the latter is subject to surgical correction, and the former is not, it is important to differentiate between the two a...
متن کاملSclerosing mediastinitis: a report on 18 cases.
BACKGROUND Sclerosing mediastinitis is a rare condition which causes dense fibrosis of the mediastinum. Few large studies have been reported to date. The clinical and pathological features of cases have been studied in a specialist referral centre in the UK. METHODS The pathological files of the Royal Brompton Hospital were examined and 18 cases of sclerosing mediastinitis were identified bet...
متن کاملCardiovascular collapse induced by position-dependent pulmonary vein occlusion in a patient with fibrosing mediastinitis.
FIBROSING mediastinitis is a rare disease characterized by an abnormal proliferation of fibrous tissue and acellular collagen within the mediastinum. Most cases of fibrosing mediastinitis in the United States are caused by an exaggerated granulomatous immunologic response to Histoplasma capsulatum infection. However, other possible etiologic conditions include tuberculosis, mediastinal malignan...
متن کاملSclerosing mediastinitis in the differential diagnosis of mediastinal tumors.
Sclerosing mediastinitis is a rare disorder characterized by an extensive fibrotic reaction involving the mediastinum. Due to the compression or invasion of mediastinal structures, the disorder mimics neoplasia. We present three cases of superior vena cava syndrome in which sclerosing mediastinitis was confirmed. The pathophysiological process is related to enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, fib...
متن کاملPulmonary Hypertension Complicating Fibrosing Mediastinitis
Fibrosing mediastinitis is caused by a proliferation of fibrous tissue in the mediastinum with encasement of mediastinal viscera and compression of mediastinal bronchovascular structures. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe complication of fibrosing mediastinitis caused by extrinsic compression of the pulmonary arteries and/or veins.We have conducted a retrospective observational study revi...
