The case is reported of a 70-year-old man with clinical findings of superior vena caval obstruction. The patient died before the etiology of the obstruction could be ascertained. On post mortem examination a mediastinal hematoma secondary to a ruptured dissecting aneurysm of the aorta was found. A review of the literature revealed only one similar case.
