  • Published : 1994.11.01

Abstract

This is a case report of superior vena cava syndrome due to thyroglossal duct cyst, which was surgically treated. The patient was 61 year old male who progressively complained exertional dyspnea for about 5 months and right ptosis, facial flushing, and nasal stuffiness for about 1 month before admission. The CT scan of the thorax revealed the right paratracheal cystic mass that compressed and displaced the trachea to leftward and SVC to rightward. The resection of the cystic mass was performed through the right posterolateral thoracotomy. The pathologic result was compatible with thyroglossal duct cyst. The postoperative status of the patient was uneventful.
