“…Arya et al [4] have reported that coughing and respiratory distress are the first signs of VCSS. Gupta et al [5], however, have emphasized that the most frequent signs are superficial veins becoming more noticeable and swelling in the face, similar to our patients' signs. Particularly dyspnea, distention of superficial veins, and swelling in the face signs should alert us.…”

V ena cava superior syndrome (VCSS) is a clinical picture emerging with the impairment of blood flow and venous return to the heart as a result of the obstruction of superior vena cava. Depending on the acutely developing obstruction of blood flow, respi-ratory distress and neurologic symptoms arise [1]. VCSS was first described by William Hunter in 1757 in a patient with syphilitic aorta aneurism. Vena cava syndrome in children develops as a result of external pressure depending on the oncologic problems. VCSS ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Vena cava superior syndrome comprises various symptoms of compression of vena cava superior. The results of increased venous pressure in the upper body may cause edema of the head and neck associated with cyanosis, plethora and distended subcutaneous vessels. Vena cava superior syndrome is rare in childhood. Therefore, we planned this retrospective study.

We hypothesise that the unilateral and fluctuating character of the oedema may have been related to lymph node compression of peripheral lymphatic or vascular structures.…”

“…Dentro de las causas más frecuentes en la población adulta está el cáncer broncogénico, responsable de casi el 70% de los casos [6]. En la población pediátrica, los linfomas, el uso prolongado de catéter venoso central y la cirugía cardiovascular en cardiopatías congénitas son las principales etiologías [3,4,8,10,11,15,21,22].…”

Las urgencias oncológicas son un reto para el clínico. El síndrome de vena cava superior es una emergencia hemato-oncológica en pediatría, el cual se define como la obstrucción intrínseca o extrínseca de la vena cava superior. La clínica más frecuente en pediatría es la aparición de circulación colateral, edema en esclavina y cianosis facial. El diagnóstico es clínico y debe hacerse lo menos invasivamente posible y de una manera rápida, para iniciar cuanto antes su manejo. Los linfomas, el uso prolongado de catéter venoso central y la cirugía cardiovascularen cardiopatías congénitas, son las principales etiologías. En algunas ocasiones, puede ser necesario un tratamiento empírico para salvar la vida del paciente, mediante el uso de esteroides y radioterapia. El objetivo del presente artículo es revisar y actualizar los aspectos más importantes sobre la etiología, las manifestaciones clínicas, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento del síndrome de vena cava superior en pediatría.
