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.

The superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is a unique clinical entity first described by William Hunter in 1757. The syndrome develops as a consequence of a pathologic process within the mediastinum and is considered an oncologic emergency because of the acute cerebral syndrome that results from venous obstruction and increased intracerebral pressure.

Three years ago, a 71-year-old man had a small cell carcinoma of his parotid managed by superficial parotidectomy and postoperative irradiation (6000 cGy at the 80% isodose line with mixed beam). He now presents with a superior vena cava syndrome. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest with IV contrast showed adlenopathy from the level of C3 to the ...
