摘要

上腔静脉（SVC）综合征的症状是颈部静脉胀满、面部和上胸部肿胀，其后果从轻微不适到上呼吸道阻塞不等。病因与恶性肿瘤关系密切，应始终予以排除。SVC 综合征通常为双侧表现，单侧 SVC 综合征很少见，非恶性病因的报道也很少。在这里，我们展示了一例单侧病例，其病因并不常见。

Unilateral superior vena cava syndrome: An uncommon complication of a commonly used procedure.

Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome constellates symptoms of plethora and facial and upper thoracic swelling with distension of neck veins, and the consequences of this condition range from mild discomfort to upper airway obstruction. The aetiology has a strong linkage with malignancy, and is always to be excluded. SVC syndrome is commonly a bilateral presentation, and unilateral SVC syndrome is rare, with very few non-malignant causes reported. Here, we demonstrate a unilateral occurrence with an uncommon cause.
