Abstract: We like to report this case of a 28-year-old lady, who had celiac disease and developed complete Superior
Vena Cava Obstruction secondary to prolonged corrective calcium therapy for refractory Hypocalcemia
through the central venous line. Usually Superior Vena Cava Syndrome (SVCS) due to Superior Vena Cava
obstruction (SVCO) has infective and malignant etiologies. Our case is a rare and benign cause, managed
surgically after failed endovascular recanalization by the interventional radiologist.Keywords: SVC syndrome, calcium therapy, celiac disease, saphenous vein graft
