Vena Cava Syndrome

Mediastinal masses may present with signs and symptoms due to either compression of mediastinal structures or systemic effects of the underlying disease. The present case highlights the advantages of interventional pulmonology in the diagnosis of lymphoma as a cause of chylothorax and superior vena cava syndrome.

Vena Cava Syndrome

Superior vena cava syndrome has historically been associated with malignancy. With the increasing use of indwelling central lines, catheters, and pacemakers in the past decade, there have been an increasing number of cases associated with thrombosis rather than by direct external compression. Patients presenting to the ED with an acute process of SVC syndrome need to be assessed in a timely fashion. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) are superb modalities for diagnosis and can quickly be used in the ED. Treatment is oriented towards the underlying cause of the syndrome. In cases of thrombogenic catheter-associated SVC syndrome, anticoagulation is the mainstay of treatment. We present a case report and discussion of a 56-year-old male with a history of metastatic colorectal cancer and an indwelling central venous port with acute signs and symptoms of superior vena cava syndrome.

AbstractSuperior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a well-known manifestation of benign and malignant tumors of the upper mediastinum. Superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction and thrombosis caused by indwelling venous catheters is a growing problem in patients on regular haemodialysis. We present a 62-year-old woman with typical signs and symptoms of SVCS, secondary to thrombosis surrounding the indwelling central catheter who was treated with endovascular stenting by the percutaneous approach. We obtained both procedural success with complete restoration of blood flow and immediate relief of symptoms.

Vena Cava Syndrome

Superior vena cava syndrome is defined by a set of signs and symptoms secondary to superior vena cava obstruction caused principally by malignant diseases. The present report describes the case of an unusual clinical manifestation of this syndrome with bilateral breast swelling, and emphasizes the relevance of knowledge on mammographic signs of systemic diseases.
