 Descending necrotizing mediastinitis(DNM)is a severe disease with high mortality. We herein report two patients with DNM treated by video-assisted thoracoscopic drainage. Patient 1 : A 56-year-old man with diabetes mellitus(DM)was admitted to our hospital complaining of dyspnea and neck swelling for a week. The computed tomography(CT)scan showed the neck abscess and neck drainage was performed. However, the abscess extended to the upper and middle mediastinum on CT scan. Video-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal drainage was performed. The thoracic drains were removed on the 10 th post-operative day(POD)and the patient was uneventfully discharged on the 38 th POD. Patient 2 : A 42-year-old man with rheumatoid arthritis and DM consulted the emergency room of our hospital complaining of high-grade fever, systemic pain and edema for a week. A day after the admission, he went into septic shock caused by necrotizing fasciitis of the right leg and underwent surgical debridement. Although his general condition improved, he developed neck abscess. Neck drainage was performed. However, the abscess extended to the upper mediastinum and the patient underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal drainage. The thoracic drains were removed on the 14th day and his course was uneventful. Conclusion : Video-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal drainage for DNM is less invasive and is an effective method.
