【 摘 要 】

Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is almost exclusively associated secondary to malignancy. In the preantibiotic era, infection was the most common cause. Other important causes included hypercoaguablity and thrombosis. The diagnosis can be made with the typical symptoms and signs associated with it, nonetheless imaging with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging is needed to confirm the diagnosis. We present here a case of SVC obstruction secondary to bronchogenic carcinoma of the lung. The patient received chemotherapy and radiation therapy which relieved his symptoms.The patient died three months later from brain metastasis.
