Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) encompasses a group of disorders caused by the obstruction to the hepatic venous outflow at the level of the small or large hepatic veins, the inferior vena cava, or any combination thereof. Clinical manifestation of the subacute form is characterized by supramesocolic abdominal discomfort, abdominal distension, fever, and lower limbs edema. Imaging work-up with hepat...

A 21year old male presented with abdominal pain for 2 months and abdominal distension and swelling of lower limbs for 1 month. Ultrasonography of abdomen showing coarse echotexture of liver and intraluminal filling defect of inferior vena cava (IVC) and CT scan confirming the USG finding and showing enlarged caudate lobe of liver and thrombus in proximal IVC suggested the possibility of Budd-Ch...

mosis. In our experience, roughly 10% of patients will have low volume amylase-rich fluid draining via the drains. Over 85% of these low volume pancreatic fistulas will heal with conservative management. While pancreatic fistula has not disappeared as a postoperative complication, it is certainly no longer the dreaded and feared complication that it was several decades ago. As additional experi...

The association of Budd-Chiari Syndrome (BCS) with coeliac disease has been understudied and underreported. Majority the cases this have reported from North Africa Southern Europe, due to a higher prevalence disease. BCS can present as acute, subacute, or chronic form is characterised by hepatic venous obstruction, either thrombotic non-thrombotic without any evidence sinusoidal obstruction syn...

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare clinicopathological condition characterized by occlusion of the major hepatic veins with or without membranous obstruction (MOVC)of the inferior vena cava (IVC) at its hepatic portion. Ascites, hepatomegaly and upper abdominal pain constitute the classical triad of symptoms, and the disease usually progresses to congenital liver cirrhosis and portal hyperten...

The patient was admitted to a general ward and treatment was symptomatic. On discharge the patient was warned that for some time he might spread foot-and-mouth disease among animals, and that therefore he should avoid contact with susceptible animals. Veterinary authorities were notified about this patient and carried out inspections in the district in which the slaughterhouse was situated. Foo...

We present two cases of ulcerative colitis associated with a chronic pattern of hepatic vein thrombosis (Budd-Chiari syndrome). Progression of the hepatic disorder appeared to be unrelated to the activity of the colitis. Liver function tests were normal until a late stage in the disease except for a high serum alkaline phosphate and a low serum albumin. This combination of abnormalities togethe...

A 38 years female presented with three episodes of venous thrombosis over one year--first in left femoral vein, next in splenic vein causing haematemesis and malena and lastly in inferior vena cava causing Budd-Chiari syndrome. During third episode, endoscopic cholangiopancreatography and guided biopsy established a diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma at the mid portion of common bile duct. The dis...

Budd-Chiari syndrome (B-CS) is a disease with a low incidence and has obvious geographical difference in subtype and clinical characteristics. The pathogenesis of B-CS in China is significantly different from that in western countries and is a complex process involving multiple factors. However, the specific cause of this disease is not yet clear. In-depth understanding of B-CS pathogenesis wil...
