Superior Vena Cava Syndrome due to pericardial hematoma: A case report and mini-review of literature

Superior vena cava syndrome is a life-threatening condition. Typically, the clinical presentations are gradual; hence, the diagnosis is often delayed until critical compression or obstruction has occurred. Pericardial hematoma is a rare condition that could occur after cardiac surgery. An asymptomat...

description	Superior vena cava syndrome is a life-threatening condition. Typically, the clinical presentations are gradual; hence, the diagnosis is often delayed until critical compression or obstruction has occurred. Pericardial hematoma is a rare condition that could occur after cardiac surgery.

An intrapericardiac hematoma was detected at the right atrium’s free wall without any intracardiac hemodynamic consequences. The patient was discharged and planned for monthly evaluation. During follow-up, the intrapericardiac hematoma was expanding. In the third month’s follow-up, the patient complained of shortness of breath, headaches, and coughs.
