A rare case of fusiform aneurysm of the superior vena cava (SVC) in a 65-year-old Japanese woman is presented herein. Aneurysm of the SVC was detected incidentally as widening of the upper mediastinum on chest radiography and was further defined using magnetic resonance imaging, venography and chest computed tomography. Based on previous reports, conservative management was planned with anticoagulation therapy as prophylaxis against thrombotic complications rather than surgical resection for aneurysm.
本文介绍了一名65岁日本女性罕见的上腔静脉(SVC)梭形动脉瘤病例。上腔静脉动脉瘤在胸部X线检查中因上纵隔增宽而偶然发现,并通过磁共振成像、静脉造影和胸部计算机断层扫描进一步明确。根据既往报道,计划采取保守治疗,采用抗凝治疗预防血栓形成并发症,而非对动脉瘤进行手术切除。
