- Metrics

Abstract

Superior vena cava syndrome is uncommon in infants. With the increased use of central venous catheters, however, there has been an increased incidence of central venous occlusion. We report a case of superior vena cava syndrome occurring on two separate occasions in a premature infant with an indwelling central line. We discuss current concepts of prevention and management.
