title: [Experience with the diagnosis and treatment of secondary odontogenic mediastinitis].
abstract: Thirteen patients with acute odontogenic mediastinitis were diagnosed and treated. The authors stress that the disease is a rare (0.89%) complication of odontogenic infection with high rate of lethal outcome (23.1%) due to delayed diagnosis and insufficient surgical intervention despite the severe course of the ailment. With timely performed surgery and intensive care measures, 9 patients had a benign outcome of the disease.
