Lung cancer is the most common cause of superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) and requires timely recognition and management. The syndrome is rarely an oncologic emergency in the absence of tracheal compression and airway compromise. Treatment depends on the etiology of the obstructive process.

Leiomyosarcoma of the superior vena cava
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1996Leiomyosarcoma of the superior vena cava is exceptional. A case in a 52-year-old man is described. A treatment by means of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, operation, and adjuvant radiotherapy was performed. This aggressive treatment has permitted the patient to obtain a relatively long survival with a good quality of life.

Idiopathic Dilatation of the Superior Vena Cava (Superior Vena Cava Dilatation)
Pediatrics, 1972A case is reported of an 8-year-old male who presented with mediastinal widening secondary to idiopathic dilatation of the superior vena cava. Roentgen signs of superior vena cava dilatation include a right, anterior, and superior location in the mediastinum, lack of tracheal deviation, and increased size on supine roentgenograms.

Aneurysm of the Superior Vena Cava
Radiology, 1970Abstract A case is reported of a superior vena caval aneurysm presenting as a right superior mediastinal mass. Prior to a definitive venographic study, in-spiratory-expiratory films and supine and upright films of the chest may show significant change in size and shape of the lesion, suggesting its venous nature.

Treatment of SVC obstruction with metallic stents is a rewarding procedure. The patients have symptoms that are severe and debilitating and cause significant impairment of life-style. Stent placement rapidly alleviates the symptoms of SVC syndrome and improves the patient's quality of life. The long-term patency rates have not been established; however,

Complications of Vascular Access: Superior Vena Cava Syndrome.
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2017Stenosis or occlusion of central veins in hemodialysis patients is common, especially with previous intravascular catheter or device use. Superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction is emerging as a frequent chronic complication of central vein cannulation that

Obstructions of Superior Vena Cava
Diseases of the Chest, 1951Obstructions of the superior vena cava whether partial or complete are rare clinical, surgical and pathological entities. Thrombosis resulting from injury, usually of an indirect nature to the superior vena cava, is probably the etiological agent. The clinical manifestations which alarm the patient are a gradually developing edema of the upper half of ...

Morphologie, 2006
Duplication of superior vena cava (SVC) is a rare anomaly. The incidence of double SVC in general population is 0.3% whereas in patients with congenital heart disease it varies between 10-11%. Double SVC cases have clinical importance if especially the one on the left side drains into the left atrium. Moreover, double SVC is surgically important in the
