Superior vena caval system obstruction caused by benign endothoracic goiter.

چکیده
The superior vena caval syndrome caused by a substernal thyroid is a rare occurrence. It can, however, result from external compression of the superior vena cava or innominate veins by an intrathoracic goiter. This report details such a case in which innominate vein occlusion was documented both by conventional venography and by a new technique utilizing a radionuclide (sodium pertechnetate 9#{176}”Tc)and the scintillation camera.
