budd-chiari syndrome (bcs) refers to thrombosis of hepatic veins as well as intrahepatic or suprahepatic inferior vena cava. we present for the first time a case of possible occurrence of budd- chiari syndrome with the history of depot medroxy progesterone acetate (dmpa) injections in a 33-yearold iranian woman. an underlying disorder can be identified in most of patients with bcs. many of thes...

the budd–chiari syndrome (bcs) is a rare disorder caused by the obstruction of the hepatic veins or the inferior vena cava (ivc) at the suprahepatic level. this syndrome is developed by either hepatic vein thrombosis or mechanical venous obstruction and leads to centrilobular hepatic congestion with the subsequent development of fibrosis and cirrhosis. intracardiac tumors have been rarely repor...

a case of the budd chiary syndrome (bcs) in a 43-yr-old man with hydatid cyst (hc) in the liver is reported from imam ali hospital, kermanshah, western iran in 2016. this case was complicated by inferior vena cava (ivc) thrombosis, right atrial clot and pulmonary emboli. compression of ivc was the likely mechanism. abdominal ultrasonography revealed a huge hc located in segments near ivc and ca...

background: â budd-chiari syndrome (bcs) is a rare syndrome caused by hepatic venous outflow obstruction. the etiology of bcs differs between western and eastern countries. this article is a review of all published articles in iranian and international journals regarding different aspects of bcs (prevalence, etiology, and conventional treatments) in iran. materials and methods : â  in this revi...

We report a case of combined hepatocellular-cholangiocarcinoma with stem cell features, cholangiolocellular subtype arising about 15 years after placement of an inferior vena cava stent for primary Budd-Chiari syndrome. Pre-surgical differentiation of the tumor from hepatocellular carcinoma was difficult because of elevated levels of alpha-fetoprotein and hypervascularity in the arterial phase....

BACKGROUND Hepatic vein thrombosis (Budd-Chiari Syndrome) is a rare disorder resulting from an obstruction to the outflow of blood from the liver. Early decompression is needed to prevent liver dysfunction and death. Radiological intervention includes angioplasty of stenosis and webs and the placement of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPPS). Side-to-side portacaval shunt (SSPC...

Ultrasonography, computed tomography and 99mTc liver scanning are all useful in diagnosis of patients with the Budd-Chiari syndrome. In a study to determine their comparative value characteristic findings were recorded in all nine patients at ultrasonography and in seven patients at computed tomography. In contrast 99mTc liver scan showed a characteristic pattern in only one of eight patients. ...

We have previously reported our experience in inferior vena cava resection and reconstruction techniques during liver transplantation for Budd-Chiari syndrome. Herein, we present on a case that demonstrates the importance of experience in complex vascular reconstruction techniques for living donor liver transplantation. A 15-year-old boy was scheduled for living donor liver transplantation for ...

For two patients with partial Budd-Chiari syndrome secondary to hepatocellular carcinoma, dynamic CT was evaluated. The obstructed hepatic veins were both the middle and left hepatic veins in Case 1 and the right hepatic vein in Case 2. The area affected by obstructed hepatic vein(s) was seen as low density on both unenhanced and contrast enhanced CT in Case 1 and as high density on enhanced CT...

The authors present the case of a 17 year old girl admitted to hospital for poor general state, mild scleral jaundice, deficient nutritional state, oliguria and massive ascites. She was diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome: thrombosis of the left suprahepatic vein and nonocclusive thrombosis of the inferior vena cava at the level of the 12th thoracal and the lumbar vertebrae. The specific featur...
