A Rare Case of Budd–Chiari Syndrome in a Young Female
Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by hepatic vein obstruction, with an incidence of 1 in 100,000. It can be diagnosed through imaging studies and initially managed with anticoagulants. Acute Budd-Chiari syndrome can be treated with thrombolysis to dissolve blood clots obstructing hepatic veins. Venous obstructions in Budd-Chiari syndrome can be fixed through angioplasty or venous stenting to restore blood flow. Liver decompression can be achieved with TIPS, and severe cases may require liver transplantation.
