RESUMO
We present a case of descending necrotising mediastinitis in a healthy young patient, complicated by pneumonia of the right inferior lobe of the lung with parapneumonic effusions. We describe a successful outcome following adequate antibiotics, effective surgical drainage by thoracoscopy and parasternotomy, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
