Pleura Mediastinal

The mediastinal pleura, also known as the mediastinal pleura, is the part of the pleural membrane that surrounds the mediastinum, the space between the lungs and the heart. It consists of two layers of pleura that cover the mediastinum and adjacent organs.

The mediastinal pleura performs several important functions. Firstly, it protects the mediastinal organs from external influences and infections. Secondly, it helps maintain the normal functioning of the mediastinal organs. Thirdly, the mediastinal pleura is involved in the regulation of body temperature, since it is one of the main pathways for heat exchange between the body and the environment.

One of the most common pathologies associated with the mediastinal pleura is mediastinal syndrome. This is a condition in which the mediastinal pleura becomes inflamed or thickened, which can lead to pain and difficulty breathing. Mediastinal syndrome can be caused by a variety of causes, including infections, trauma, tumors, and other diseases.

Various methods are used to diagnose mediastinal syndrome, such as x-rays, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Treatment may include anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, surgery, and other methods depending on the cause and severity of the condition.

In general, the mediastinal pleura plays an important role in the functioning of the body and the protection of the mediastinal organs. However, her diseases can lead to serious consequences and require timely diagnosis and treatment.
