budd-chiari syndrome is caused by the obstruction of the hepatic venous, with high mortality rate in nontreated cases. because the clinical presentation of this syndrome is nonspecific, is very important. contrast enhanced multiphase computed tomography (ct) and magnetic resonance (mr) angiography permits morphologic and functional assessment of liver changes in suspicious clinical setting. the...

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) represents a rare medical entity which has an estimated incidence of 0.1 to 10 people per million every year. It is defined by the obstruction flow in inferior vena cava or hepatic veins. Various classifications have been proposed. So, it can be acute chronic and primary secondary.
