Vena Cava Syndrome

A case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presenting as superior vena cava syndrome is pre sented. This 19-year-old woman was admitted for head ache and swelling in her face and neck. Initial evaluation revealed that she had a superior vena cava syndrome. Thoracal computed tomography (CT) and intravenous digital substraction angiography demonstrated the occlu sion in the superior vena cava. ANA and antiDNA titers were high and anticardiolipin antibodies were positive. Along with immunosuppressive treatment, she had been administered intravenous streptokinase. To our knowl edge, no SLE patient presenting with such an unusual form has been described in the English literature.

Vena Cava Syndrome

Intrathoracic tumours in patients with Von Recklinghausen’s disease have been widely reported, but there are very few cases of reported intrathoracic giant benign neurofibroma with marked mediastinal shift and superior vena cava syndrome. Patients that present with this pathology should be adequately investigated. Surgical resection has been considered curative.
