A 23‐year‐old male patient who had no history of any previous medical illness was noted to have a widened mediastinum on chest X‐ray undertaken as part of a routine medical evaluation. A computer tomographic (CT) scan confirmed the widened mediastinum to be due to a double superior vena cava (SVC). No further investigations were undertaken. The patient was noted to be well when re‐assessed 3 years later. Clin. Anat. 18:366–369, 2005. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
