Abstract

Introduction: Collar of Stokes is part of the clinical picture of Superior Vena Cava Syndrome. Patients who require hemodialysis need vascular access by placing a double-lumen catheter in the jugular or subclavian veins, which, when used for long periods of time, can favor the appearance of face/neck edema.
Objective: To present a patient on hemodialysis with collar of Stokes edema, taking into account that it is a rarely discussed cause of edema.
Clinical case: Male patient, 26 years old, black skin color, apparent health history who arrives at the emergency room with a hypertensive emergency. Complementary tests showed elevated blood creatinine and urea with renal ultrasound showing small kidneys; He was considered a patient with chronic renal failure. Periodic intermittent hemodialysis treatment was started, which was maintained for 29 months until the time of evaluation. With multiple double-lumen catheters to receive the cleansing treatment, he developed gradual volume increase in his facial and neck region.
Conclusion: The use of double-lumen catheters for hemodialysis can favor the appearance of collar of Stokes edema; which may be seen more frequently due to the accessibility of patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease to conventional hemodialysis.
