    Author: Novella Sánchez L, Sanz Herrero F, Berraondo Fraile J, Fernández Fabrellas E.
    Journal: Arch Bronconeumol; 2013 Aug; 49(8):340-2. PubMed ID: 23410744.
    Abstract:
    Superior vena cava syndrome is a clear sign for clinicians of infiltrative mediastinal involvement, usually caused by neoplasms in this location, and it is an indicator of poor prognosis. However, other diseases of benign origin can also cause these alterations. We present the case of a 34-year-old patient who debuted with symptoms of superior vena cava syndrome due to idiopathic mediastinal fibrosis, which presented a torpid evolution and few therapeutic alternatives.
