Abstract
SUPERIOR vena cava (SVC) obstruction is rare and usually complicates tumors in the mediastinum. 1 It may affect the venous drainage of the airway, leading to shortness of breath, stridor, and cough, which may worsen with the extension of the mass into the anterior mediastinum. The detailed management of SVC obstruction in a parturient has not been reported in the anesthetic literature. We report treatment of a parturient, who presented for delivery of a neonate at 34 weeks' gestation, with SVC obstruction syndrome with anterior mediastinal extension of a tumor.
