A 36-year-old woman with effort dyspnea for 2 years, venous congestion of the left arm for 6 months and who did not have a history of a thoracic trauma was hospitalized. Posterior bilateral dislocation of the sternoclavicular joints and compression of the brachiocephalic vein were diagnosed and conformed by computed tomography (CT). The joint could not be reduced because of the old dislocation and destruction of the joint in the operation. The heads of the clavicles were resected and the vein compression was eliminated. Six weeks later, venous congestion disappeared and the brachiocephalic vein was patent.
