摘要
Superior vena cava (SVC) aneurysms are a rare occurrence. Given the rarity of SVC aneurysms and their propensity to be overlooked or misinterpreted on imaging, it is essential to be familiar with their appearance for accurate diagnosis, and to minimize thromboembolic risk, complications from rupture and mass effect. This report of a case of a massive fusiform SVC aneurysm that presented with pulmonary thrombo-embolism highlights the nuances of making an imaging diagnosis of SVC aneurysm and reviews the reported cases of fusiform SVC aneurysms that were diagnosed beyond childhood.
