In a 45-year-old man with chronic hepatitis B a fibrous mediastinitis developed originating from a Riedel's thyroiditis. Because of associated pleural effusion compression of a pulmonary vessel could not be excluded. Administration of corticoids, undertaken in the absence of general guidelines to treat the mediastinitis, achieved regression of the pleural effusion and the mediastinal changes, as well as shrinkage of the cervical fibrosis.
在一名45岁的慢性乙型肝炎男性患者中，发生了起源于里德尔甲状腺炎的纤维性纵隔炎。由于伴有胸腔积液，不能排除肺血管受压的情况。在缺乏治疗纵隔炎通用指南的情况下使用了皮质类固醇，胸腔积液、纵隔改变得以消退，颈部纤维化也有所缩小。
