Abstract
Superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome is most commonly the insidious result of decreased vascular
flow through the SVC due to malignancy, spontaneous thrombus, infections, and iatrogenic
etiologies. Clinical suspicion usually leads to computed tomography to confirm the diagnosis.
However, when a patient in respiratory distress requires emergent airway management, travel
outside the emergency department is not ideal. With the growing implementation of point-of-care
ultrasound (POCUS), clinicians may make critical diagnoses rapidly and safely. We present a case
of SVC syndrome due to extensive thrombosis of the deep venous system cephalad to the SVC
diagnosed by POCUS. [West J Emerg Med. 2014;15(6):715-718]
