Presentation
The history of сhemotherapeutic treatment of a mediastinal tumor. Dynamic CT-control of treatment is requested. No previous studies results.
Patient Data
Paraaortic soft tissue mass in the anterior mediastinum with invasion and stenosis of the superior vena cava. Moderate infiltration of the adjacent fat.
Single enlarged lymph nodes of the anterior mediastinum
Low density of the heart, thoracic and abdominal aorta in the arterial phase.
Hight density of extended cava-caval anastomoses: vv. prenicae inferiores dexrtrae, v. lumbalis, v. toracoepigasrica, v. toracica interna, vv. epigastricae superior et superficialis.
Early contrast enhancement of the inferior vena cava through the vv. prenicae inferiores dexrtrae and v. lumbalis.
Hight density of extended cava-caval anastomoses:
- vv. prenicae inferiores dexrtrae
- v. lumbalis
- v. toracoepigasrica
- v. toracica interna
- vv. epigastricae superior et superficialis
Case Discussion
A demonstrative example of superior vena cava syndrome with visualization of dilated cava-caval anastomoses.
