    The mediastinum is the partition between the two pleural cavities and lungs. It is subdivided into the superior, middle, and posterior mediastinum. The superior mediastinum contains structures like the esophagus, trachea, aortic arch, brachiocephalic veins, and vagus nerves. The middle mediastinum contains the heart, pulmonary trunk, ascending aorta, superior vena cava, and inferior vena cava. The posterior mediastinum contains the esophagus, descending aorta, azygos and hemiazygos veins, and vagus nerves.
