title: Bilateral subclavian vein thromboses presenting as a superior vena cava syndrome demonstrated by radionuclide blood flow and In-111 WBC imaging.
abstract: A superior vena cava syndrome was caused by venous thrombosis of both proximal subclavian veins. Collateral pathways were clearly demonstrated by radioisotope venography. Indium-111 labeled platelet thrombography was useful in localizing thrombotic lesions.
