In both cases after resolution of pathology following treatment showed no enhancement in post contrast scan which was attributed to the collaterals arising due to obstruction, obviously not seen in metastases.<br>Keywords: Brachiocephalic vein obstruction; computed tomography CT; superior vena cava SVC; vertebral enhancement; venous collaterals</p&gt;}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Nepal Health Research Council}, author={Giri, Sandip and GhoshPriya and MosesArun Singh and BaralDibash}, year={2021}, month={Sep.}, pages={411-413} }
