BARRERA-LOPEZ, Ana Madeleine; CORTES-P., Luis Arcadio  y  SALAZAR-C., Erika María. Pulmonary thromboembolism associated to superior vena cava syndrome thrombotic origin. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2017, vol.24, n.4, pp.406-406. ISSN 0120-5633.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rccar.2016.08.003.

The case of a 32-year old male patient who consulted the ER with a clinical record of superior vena cava syndrome is described. CT pulmonary angiography study reveals left pulmonary embolism, thrombosis in right-sided internal jugular vein and subclavian-jugular confluence. There is no evidence of association with neoplasms, infec tions or connective tissue disease, hyperviscosity (Virchow’s triad) due to polyglobulia being the only risk associated to thrombosis.

Palabras clave : Pulmonary thromboembolism; Superior vena cava syndrome; Superior vena cava thrombosis; Polyglobulia or erythrocytosis.
