Abstract
Superior venae cavae syndrome usually occurs in patients with malignant processes and with a higher incidence in those with lung cancer. The syndrome generates clinical manifestations such as headache that exacerbates the decubitus, pain in the jaw region, neck and shoulder girdle. Also, disorders by effect of benign processes such as endothoracic goiter, sarcoidosis, thrombosis associated with catheters or pacemaker reservoirs, chemotherapy, by temporary and permanent catheters in patients with hemodialysis, among others. For an accurate diagnosis, it is necessary to make use of combined processes of chest radiography, computerized axial tomography and contrast venography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance, which allow determining the site, the nature of the obstruction and the proper treatment, in order to improve the patient's condition.
