The mediastinum is the central compartment of the thoracic cavity, the area inside the ribcage. It is surrounded by areolar connective tissue and contains all thoracic organs except for the lungs, including the heart and its great blood vessels, the esophagus and trachea, the phrenic and cardiac nerves, the thoracic duct, the thymus, and lymph nodes.
The mediastinum is an area found in the midline of the thorax that is surrounded by the left and right pleural sacs.
