Abstract
We present a patient with superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction in whom two areas of increased hepatic enhancement within the left lobe were seen on ab dominal computed tomography (CT). The significance of this case is that abn ormal enhancements of the liver on abdominal CT in the regions described sh ould be suggestive of an SVC obstruction on this basis alone.
