“…The existence of the mediastinal serous cavity is a fascinating consequence of embryologic development, but the actual purpose of the space is unknown. Some authors have hypothesized that the mediastinal serous cavity supports the cranial sliding motions of the gastroesophageal junction, and reduces the slope of the esophageal plane of entry into the stomach . Persistent communication of this space with the omental bursa is the cause of congenital or primary type paraesophageal hernia and a predisposing factor in sliding hiatal hernia .…”

The mediastinal serous cavity is a normal anatomic space in the caudal mediastinum. Aims of this anatomic and case series study were to describe the signs of pathologic expansion of the mediastinal serous cavity observed during computed tomography (CT), review the underlying anatomy, perform a literature review, and evaluate the medical records of several dogs with mediastinal serous cavity empyema (paraesophageal empyema). The mesothelial lined mediastinal serous cavity is a cranial extension of the omental bursa, separated from the peritoneal cavity by the diaphragm, in the dorsal part of the caudal mediastinum, to the right of the esophagus, between the heart base and diaphragm. In five adult, large-breed dogs with surgically and histologically confirmed paraesophageal empyema, macroscopic plant material was found at surgery in two dogs, adherence to adjacent lung was present in three different dogs, accessory lobectomy was performed in two dogs with subacute-chronic pyogranulomatous pneumonia, and one dog had concurrent pyothorax and mediastinitis, but none had esophageal abnormalities. This study expands our understanding of the pathogenesis and basis for the imaging appearance of paraesophageal empyema in dogs by clarifying the underlying anatomic structures that direct development of this condition. The term empyema accurately describes this condition because the purulent material accumulates within an existing body cavity. The study also provides initial evidence that the development of paraesophageal empyema might be due to local extension of lung disease, such as foreign body migration or pneumonia. Computed tomography was helpful for diagnosis, assessing size, and determining the spread of disease.

The abdominal cavity is the most primitive body cavity. Its musculo-fascial skeleton encompasses the abdominal wall, the pelvic floor, and the diaphragm. Comparative anatomical studies have demonstrated remarkable homology in the muscular and fascial architecture of each of these structures. In addition, all muscular sheets lining the abdominal cavity display a characteristic resting tone enabling them to act as a single functional unit. During pregnancy and childbirth the abdominal wall and the pelvic floor are prone to impairment from overstretching. This damage may result in postpartum paralysis of the abdominal wall or anorectal incontinence. Insight in the special anatomic and physiologic features of the abdominal muscle sheets may lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of primary and secondary abdominal hernias as well as postpartum anorectal incontinence and may improve surgical treatment.
