[Superior vena cava syndrome--clinical aspects, etiology and case reports].
The so-called superior-Cava Syndrome is caused by obstructions by centrally localized tumors by thrombosis or by inflammations of the mediastinum. In cases of tumorous infiltration a graft can be inserted. The different phenomena of thrombosis caused by nutritial catheters and pace makers are of clinical importance. Acute thrombosis of the brachio-cervical veins and the Vena Cava can be treated successfully by means of thrombolysis. Besides CT bilateral brachial phlebography communicates optimal information concerning localization of vascular obstruction and collateral circuits.
