mainly on the corrective mechano-therapeutics that he advocated and the various mechanical appliances that he devised. It is not possible to determine from this book how much ofthe clinic's reputation actually hinged on Schulthess's social stature, and on the fact that he co-founded and helped to edit the Zeitschrift fur orthopadische Chirurgie. Much of this book is devoted to recalling the nam...

A case of Budd-Chiari syndrome in a young woman, which started probably in the last trimester of pregnancy, is described. The diagnosis was made clinically and was confirmed by inferior venacavography and on exploratory laparotomy. The possible connection of the syndrome with the pregnancy is discussed.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) stenting in patients suffering from Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is sometimes complicated by stent migration or misplacement. Here, we describe a novel stent anchoring technique to prevent this complication while using balloon-mounted Palmaz stent for angioplasty of short-segment stenosis in the IVC.

Hepatic herniation through an abdominal incisional hernia is extremely rare phenomenon that has been reported in the medical literature few case reports. It associated with complications such as hepatic encephalopathy and Budd-Chiari syndrome. Most cases can be managed conservatively observation, but many require surgical intervention to preserve liver function. Our a 61-year-old female who pre...

Hydatid cyst of the liver, causing compression of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and hepatic veins is a rare cause of secondary Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). As the hydatid disease is endemic in India, it is a rare but treatable cause of BCS. The early diagnosis and timely intervention can prevent hepatic complications leading to BCS in the affected patients.

Recently, we experienced a rare case of Budd-Chiari Syndrome. The case was a 57-year-old female patient. Venous return had been severely disturbed by the membranous occlusion of the IVC and a giant floating thrombus. After catheter directed thrombolysis combined with stepwise percutaneous angioplasty, the IVC was recanalized sufficiently and the thrombus was completely resolved.

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is an uncommon condition induced by thrombotic or non-thrombotic obstruction of hepatic venous outflow. BCS most often occurs in patients with underlying thrombotic diathesis, including such myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) as polycythemia vera and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, and pregnancy, oral contraceptives, tumors, chronic inflammatory diseases, clotti...

We prove that a uniform rooted plane map with n edges converges in distribution after a suitable normalization to the Brownian map for the Gromov–Hausdorff topology. A recent bijection due to Ambjørn and Budd allows to derive this result by a direct coupling with a uniform random quadrangulation with n faces.

Budd-Chiari syndrome was diagnosed in a 13 year old boy who presented with ascites. Angiographic studies showed occlusion at the ostia of the hepatic veins. This was treated surgically by the Senning operation of transcaval dorsocranial resection of the liver and hepatocaval anastomosis. The patient's ascites cleared and he remains well 10 months after surgery.
