What is SVC syndrome?

Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is a group of problems caused when blood flow through the superior vena cava (SVC) is slowed down. The SVC is a large vein that drains blood away from the head, neck, arms, and upper chest and into the heart. SVCS is most often seen in people who have cancer.

How is superior vena cava syndrome diagnosed?

The most common physical findings are facial, neck, and arm swelling and dilated veins in the chest. CT with IV contrast is used to confirm the diagnosis of SVCS; MRI is helpful in cases in which IV contrast is contraindicated. SVCS is commonly considered an oncological emergency, but most SVCS cases are not.

Sometimes, the artery can compress the vein at that point. This creates the same effect as stepping on a garden hose; it narrows the vein and slows the flow of blood, which may cause swelling in the left leg as well as other symptoms. This iliac compression is called May-Thurner syndrome.

Where is vena cava?

Your inferior vena cava and superior vena cava are both on your heart's right side. Your right and left innominate (or brachiocephalic) veins merge to form your superior vena cava. Your superior vena cava is next to the right side of your sternum and goes into your right atrium, where all the oxygen-poor blood goes.

Is the superior vena cava an artery?

The superior vena cava (SVC) is a large, valveless vein that conveys venous blood from the upper half of the body and returns it to the right atrium.

Is the superior vena cava a vein or artery?

The superior vena cava (SVC) is the superior of the two venae cavae, the great venous trunks that return deoxygenated blood from the systemic circulation to the right atrium of the heart. It is a large-diameter (24 mm) short length vein that receives venous return from the upper half of the body, above the diaphragm.

What is the most common physical finding in patients with superior vena cava syndrome?

Dyspnea is the most common symptom, observed in 63% of patients with SVCS. Other symptoms include facial swelling, head fullness, cough, arm swelling, chest pain, dysphagia, orthopnea, distorted vision, hoarseness, stridor, headache, nasal stuffiness, nausea, pleural effusions, and light-headedness.

How do you evaluate SVC syndrome?

Although SVC syndrome is a clinical diagnosis, plain radiography, computed tomography (CT) and venography are used for confirmation (1). Recommended treatments for cancer-related SVC syndrome include chemotherapy and radiation to reduce the tumour that is causing the obstruction.

What are the complications of superior vena cava syndrome?

Patients with SVCS can, rarely, develop life-threatening complications such as cerebral edema, causing headache, dizziness, confusion, and eventually coma or compromised hemodynamics, if SVC obstruction impairs venous return to the right atrium.
