SVC Syndrome in Icu: The Need of a Multidisciplinary Approach
SVC SYNDROME IN ICU
,
Abstract
Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, a potentially life threatening medical emergency, occurs due to SVC obstruction caused by extrinsic compression, intrinsic stenosis or thrombosis. Malignant mediastinal tumours account for more than 80% of cases of SVC syndrome. We hereby report a case of SVC syndrome who came with clinical features suggestive of SVC syndrome with dyspnea managed and diagnosed in the Intensive Care Unit with a multidisciplinary approach
