Superior vena cava syndrome caused by bronchogenic cyst: Report of a case

Abstract

Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome may be caused by intrathoracic benign and malignant processes. Although bronchogenic cyst is a rare cause of the superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS), it should be considered because it is a potentially treatable lesion. In this report, we present clinical and radiological features of a case of symptomatic mediastinal bronchogenic cyst causing SVCS.
