Abstract
SummaryWe describe a case of a 64-year-old man with superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction caused by a huge pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta. Pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta is an uncommon cause of SVC obstruction. Multi-detector row computed tomography (MDCT) simultaneously clarified the SVC obstruction and coronary artery stenosis.
