Learn About Fibrosing Mediastinitis

What is the definition of Fibrosing Mediastinitis?
Fibrosing mediastinitis is a condition that affects the area between the lungs (mediastinum) which contains the heart, large blood vessels, windpipe (trachea), esophagus, and lymph nodes. People with Fibrosing mediastinitis have varying amounts of scar tissue in the mediastinum which may cause problems for the organs located there. For example, some affected people may develop blocked airways that can interfere with lung function. Others may have compressed blood vessels which can slow or prevent blood flow to and from the heart. The exact cause of Fibrosing mediastinitis is not fully understood, but it is not inherited. Many cases are linked to a specific type of fungal infection called histoplasmosis.
