V.�-cava-superior-Syndrom mit beidseitiger Jugularis- und Subklaviavenenthrombose

Abstract

At present thrombosis of the superior vena cava is an uncommon event that is now more frequently associated with diagnostic or therapeutic catheterization. If an apparent spontaneous thrombosis occurs, malignancy should be considered in the differential diagnosis. One case of clinically symptomatic thrombosis of the internal jugular, subclavian, and superior vena cava is presented. We detected an asymptomatic left renal cell carcinoma in a 54-year-old patient and nephrectomy was performed. Increased blood coagulability as part of a paraneoplastic syndrome was considered to be the possible etiology. In patients with otherwise unexplained superior vena cava thrombosis, examination not only of the head and neck but also of the abdomen, retroperitoneum, and pelvis should be pursued. A review of the literature pertinent to this rare case is provided.

Acute myocardial infarction and arterial embolism in a patient with newly diagnosed renal mass: management dilemmas! A case report

“…In another report, a fatal outcome of pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy based on a papillary RCC was identified, in which tumorous microemboli formed in the pulmonary arterioles and subsequently lead to right heart failure [ 11 ]. Venous thrombosis in central retinal veins or the upper caval vein are further manifestations of PNS, probably aggravated by elevated levels of antiphospholipid and anticardiolipin antibodies [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Superior vena cava syndrome as a paraneoplastic manifestation of soft tissue sarcoma

“…Santra et al reported paraneoplastic thrombus formation in SVC due to lung cancer. 5 Moreover, paraneoplastic causes of SVC syndrome due to thrombosis have been reported in association with renal cell carcinoma, 6 ovarian cancer 7 and Richter syndrome. 8 Obstruction of the SVC can also be due to intraluminal metastasis without thrombus formation.…”

Periphere Fazialisparese als Erstsymptom eines metastasierenden Bronchialkarzinoms

“…Thrombosierungen der Vena jugularis interna waren in der präantibiotischen Zeit eine häufige Folge von entzündlichen Prozessen im Kopf-Hals-Bereich. Deutlich häufiger sind Thrombosierungen heute durch obere Einflussstauungen aufgrund neoplastischer Erkrankungen [16,17].…”
