A 55 yr old man comes to the physician's office complaining of having a headache and feeling fullness in his head and neck. Examination shows dilated chest vessels and plethora that iw worse when he lies down. X rays of the chest show a right upper lobe mass and widened mediastinum. The most likely cause of this patient's symptoms is compression of which of the following:
a) hemiazygos
b) external jugular vein
c) inf. vein cava
d) right lymphatic duct
e) internal jugular vein
f) superior vein cava
g) right mainstem bronchus
h) sublavian vein
Please, any help on this one? Thanks!
