Budd Chiari Syndrome: A Case Study

J. B. Priya Dhanya

Abstract: Budd- chiari syndrome is a rare but serious vascular disorder characterized by obstruction of hepatic venous outflow at the level of hepatic veins, inferior vena cava, or both. This obstruction leads to increased hepatic sinusoidal pressure, hepatomegaly, ascites and progressive hepatic liver dysfunction. The condition may be acute, subacute or chronic and its etiology involves prothrombic states, inherited thrombophilias etc. Diagnosis relies on clinical suspicion supported by doppler ultrasonography, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging showing impaired venous drainage. Management includes anticoagulation therapy, endovascular interventions, transjugular intra hepatic portosystemic shunt and in advanced cases, liver transplantation.

Keywords: hepatic vein, ascites, cirrhosis, TIPS (Transjugular intra hepatic portosystemic shunt)
