Abstract

Mediastinal masses are an unusual type of mass, which compresses the surrounding structures. Patients having therapeutic and diagnostic mediastinal procedures performed may receive perioperative care from the anesthesiologist itself. They can be extremely difficult to treat because mediastinal masses, particularly those in the anterior mediastinum, can lead to significant airway obstruction and vascular congestion during surgery, which can worsen under general anesthesia and result in perioperative morbidity and mortality.
