INTERPLEURAL SPACE (Mediastinum) 
It’s a complex of thoracic cavity organs located between 
two (right and left) mediastinal pleuras. The mediastinum is 
limited anteriorly by corpus and manubrium of sternum. 
Behind – by corpuses of thoracic vertebrae. 
Below – by diaphragm. 
Above – by upper foramen of thoracic cage. 
According to the modern opinion (Basle Nomina 
Anatomica, Ukrainian standard) the mediastinum is divided 
into two parts: mediastinum superius and mediastinum 
inferius. 
Mediastinum superius is located above the root of the 
lungs and is separated from mediastinum inferius by 
conditional surface, which goes through junction point of 
manubrium of sternum with its corpus, and goes to 4th 
thoracic vertebra.
Pericardium divides the mediastinum inferius into anterior 
and posterior segments. 
The mediastinum superius comprises: 
● thymus or adipose tissue which replaces it; 
● venae brachiocephalici; 
● vena cava superior; 
● aorta ascendens; 
● arcus aortae with its branches; 
● the upper part of esophagus; 
● ductus thoracicus; 
● trachea; 
● n. phrenicus and n.vagus. 
Mediastinum anterius
is located between the sternum and 
pericardium. It comprises internal thoracic vessels (arteries 
and veins), presternal lymphatic nodes, and inferior segments 
of thymus. 
Middle mediastinum
comprises pericardium, heart, intracardiac 


33 
segments of large vessels, bifurcation of trachea, main 
bronchi, lung arteries and veins, and nn. phrenici which follow 
the pericardiacophrenica vessels, lateral, pericardial and 
tracheobronchial lymph nodes. 
Mediastinum posterius
is located between the posterior 
wall of pericardium and thoracic vertebrae. The mediastinum 
posterius comprises: esophagus, descending part of aorta, 
ductus thoracicus, v. azygos and v. haemiazygos, sympathetic 
trunks and nerves which depart from them, nn. vagi, 
periesophageal and prevertebral lymph nodes. Organs of 
mediastinum are covered with adipose tissue which plays an 
important role in generalization of purulent inflammatory 
processes. 
We can distinguish: prepericardial, pretracheal and 
periesophageal cellular spaces. Prepericardial cellular space is 
located in mediastinum superius between the posterior 
surface of sternum and organs (thymus, vessels, pericardium). 
It has two layers separated by retrosternal fascia of Rudnev 
(fascia retrosternalis). It begins from the posterior wall of the 
thymus and ascends to the diaphragm. Its size depends on the 
length of thymus. The first cellulose layer is thinner. It attaches 
to the posterior surface of sternum and is called retrosternal 
space of Diakonov.
The second cellular layer is located deeper, between 
Rudnev fascia and Meier fascia, which is called septum 
mediastinale. It descends from the posterior part of the 
capsule of thyroid gland, passes along the anterior surface of 
trachea, then passes onto posterior surface of pericardium, 
and ends in tendinous center of diaphragm. This thin fascial 
plate can be considered as a septum between mediastinum 
medium and mediastinum posterius.
The abscesses of prepericardial cellular space can spread 


34 
along the anterior surface of pericardium to diaphragm, and 
then through Larrey’s cleft (sternocostal triangle) and 
trigonum sternocostale dexter – to preperitoneal fatty tissue. 
They can also spread up to pretracheal cellular tissue of cervix. 
We can also ditsinguish the pretracheal cellular space in 
mediastinum superius. It is limited by aortic arch from the left; 
v. cava superior, v. azygos and right artery of the lung from the 
right; tracheal bifurcation behind; thymus and posterior wall of 
pericardium in front. 
The periesophageal cellular space is mostly expressed in 
mediastinum posterius. From above it joins with 
retropharyngeal space of cervix, and through hiatus aorticus of 
diaphragm 
and 
trigonum 
lumbocostale 
(Bochdalek’s 
foramen) – with extraperitoneal space.
Purulent inflammations of mediastinal cellular tissue 
(mediastinitis) is a severe disease. 
Cellular tissue of mediastinum comprises significantly 
expressed reticulum of arterial and venous vessels. The most 
important arterial vessels are bronchial arteries which take
