Intrathoracic goiter is a rare cause of superior vena cava syndrome. We present the findings in a patient in whom the syndrome was precipitated by therapy with propylthiouracil and remitted on withdrawal of the medication. The superior vena cava syndrome did not recur on medical management, suggesting that surgery is not always indicated in this setting.
胸内甲状腺肿是上腔静脉综合征的罕见病因。我们报告了一名患者的情况，该患者的上腔静脉综合征由丙硫氧嘧啶治疗引发，停药后症状缓解。经药物治疗后上腔静脉综合征未复发，这表明在此情况下并非总是需要进行手术。
