Journal Title: International Journal of Allied Medical Sciences and Clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Budd-chiari syndrome is defined as the obstruction of hepatic veins or terminal inferior vena cava (IVC) [1-3].It is a rare disease and can be life-threatening. BCS can be classified as primary when BCS arises from a venous anomaly or as secondary, when an initial lesion is outside the veins. The incidence may be higher in Asian than western population with a slight female preponderance. Hereditary thrombophilia is a condition in which many inherited conditions leading to an increased tendency to develop venous thromboembolism (VTE). Those conditions are very rare. As such BCS is not common in these conditions [3]. In this case report we present a case of Budd- Chiari syndrome with more than one such risk factors.
