  • Title: Fibrosing TB mediastinitis presenting as a superior vena cava syndrome: a case presentation and echocardiogram correlate.
    Author: Esquivel L, Diaz-Picado H.
    Journal: Echocardiography; 2006 Aug; 23(7):588-91. PubMed ID: 16911334.
    Abstract:
    A 49-year-old woman developed a chronic obstruction of the superior vena cava (SVC) as a complication of mediastinal tuberculosis. Echocardiography findings are presented along with the cavography. Symptoms disappeared after stenting the fibrosed SVC. Transesophageal echocardiogram findings led to the condition's final resolution.
