A wide variety of abnormalities may be encountered in the paravertebral mediastinum, ranging from congenital lesions to malignant neoplasms. A combination of localizing mediastinal masses to the paravertebral compartment, characterizing them with cross-sectional imaging techniques, and correlating the imaging findings with demographics and other clinical history typically enables the development of a focused differential diagnosis. Radiologists must be familiar with these concepts in order to help guide subsequent imaging and/or intervention and, when appropriate, treatment planning for neoplasms and other abnormalities.
在后纵隔中可能会遇到各种各样的异常，从先天性病变到恶性肿瘤都有。通过将纵隔肿块定位于后纵隔间隙，结合横断面成像技术对其进行特征描述，并将影像学发现与人口统计学和其他临床病史相关联，通常可以制定出一个有针对性的鉴别诊断。放射科医生必须熟悉这些概念，以便帮助指导后续的影像学和/或介入治疗，并在适当的情况下为肿瘤和其他异常制定治疗计划。
