Overview
Superior vena cava syndrome may be caused by obstruction of the superior vena cava (SVC) by neoplastic invasion of the venous wall associated with intravascular thrombosis, enlarged nodes, enlarged ascending aorta, or more simply, by extrinsic pressure of a tumor mass against the thin-walled superior vena cava (SVC).
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. Superior vena cava syndrome is itself a life threatening medical emergency irrespective of the other causes.
Common Causes[1]
- Aortic aneurysm
- Bronchogenic carcinoma[2]
- Breast cancer
- Cystic hygroma
- Goiter
- Histoplasmosis
- Indwelling catheter
- Lung cancer[3]
- Lymphoma
- Non Hodgkin's lymphoma
- Small cell lung cancer
- Thymoma
- Tuberculosis
