AB  - Superior  vena  cava  syndrome  (SVCS)  develops  from  obstruction  of  venous  drainage  from  the  upper  body,  resulting  in  increased  venous  pressure,  which  leads  to  dilation  of  the  collateral  circulation.  SVCS  is  most  commonly  caused  by  vascular  compression  from  malignant  mediastinal  tumors.  Dyspnea;  swelling  of  the  face,  upper  extremities,  and  trunk;  chest  pain;  cough;  or  headache  may  be  present.  Physical  findings  include  dilation  of  collateral  veins  of  the  trunk  and  upper  extremities,  facial  edema  and  erythema  (plethora),  cyanosis,  and  tachypnea.
