In children, spontaneous mediastinitis is a rare, severe and commonly misdiagnosed disease. Although standard of care treatment frequently involves surgery, we report a case of mediastinitis in a five-year-old child, successfully treated with 4 weeks of intravenous antibiotics. Ultrasound imaging was used to monitor patient response to conservative treatment while reducing radiation exposure.
在儿童中,自发性纵隔炎是一种罕见、严重且常被误诊的疾病。尽管标准治疗方案通常涉及手术,但我们报告了一例五岁儿童纵隔炎病例,通过四周的静脉抗生素治疗成功治愈。超声成像用于监测患者对保守治疗的反应,同时减少辐射暴露。
