Zusammenfassung:	Key Clinical Message Superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) is commonly caused by mediastinal malignancies. Early identification through clinical signs and imaging is critical to avoid complications including cerebral and laryngeal edema, and cardiogenic shock. We present a case of large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma causing superior and inferior vena cava compression that responded well to radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
