Clinical Pediatrics, 1989 Superior vena cava syndrome is uncommon in infants. With the increased use of central venous catheters, however, there has been an increased incidence of central venous occlusion. We report a case of superior vena cava syndrome occurring on two separate occasions in a premature infant with an indwelling central line.

Superior Vena Cava Syndrome Revisited
Japanese Journal of Clinical Oncology, 1995A clinical review with analysis of prognostic factors, including the impact of the initial management modality, was conducted on 137 patients with superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) seen at the Veterans General Hospital-Taipei between 1989 and 1993. Malignant diseases account for most of the SVCS in our Chinese patients.

The symptoms that result from compression of the superior vena cava are known as superior vena cava syndrome. The syndrome was originally described as secondary to infection such as tuberculosis or syphilitic aortic aneurysm. Currently, the origin is generally cancer or thrombotic events. Adenocarcinoma of the lung is the most common cause.

Superior Vena Cava Syndrome [PDF]
, 2003 Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is the clinical expression of the obstruction of venous blood flow through the superior vena cava [1]. This syndrome was first described in 1757 by Hunter in a patient with a syphilitic aortic aneurysm [2]. In a 1949 review of 502 patients with SVCS, two-thirds had benign etiologies and one-third had malignant tumors ...

Benign Superior Vena Cava Syndrome
Chest, 1975Benign superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction is an uncommon entity. However, it is important to recognize that a small percentage of SVC syndromes are due to benign diseases such as mediastinal granulomas. The insidious onset and slow progression of symptoms allow for development of an efficient collateral venous circulation compatible with long-term ...

Evaluating the Superior Vena Cava Syndrome
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1981We reviewed the records of 28 patients with superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) between 1973 and 1978 to establish the risk from invasive diagnostic procedures and the therapeutic value of the information obtained. Of 23 patients, this syndrome was the initial manifestation in 18.
