Detection of a combination aplasia the inferior vena cava and retroaortic left renal vein is extremely rare. A description clinical case with similar anomalies in development given. In our case, an anomaly 59-year-old male patient was incidental finding during examination treatment for acute cerebrovascular accident. Asymptomatic prerenal hepatic sections drainage into azygous revealed. The vei...

conclusions in our study, portal venous thrombosis was detected in the patient who died during the acute period only. a study including large numbers of budd-chiari-syndrome patients with behcet’s disease and portal venous thrombosis would be helpful to determine the prognostic significance of portal venous thrombosis in budd-chiari-syndrome patients with behcet’s disease. in addition, patients...

A 30-year-old gentleman, a known membranous nephropathy patient since 2002, presented a month ago for recurrent bipedal oedema and dilated veins in front and back of abdomen (Figure 1). After contrast prophylaxis, a venogram was done with the intention of intervention in the same sitting if required. His venogram showed non-visualization of the entire infra-hepatic inferior venacava (IVC) that ...

Abdominal venous thrombosis may present as splanchnic venous thrombosis (SVT) (occlusion of portal, splenic, superior or inferior mesenteric veins) or Budd- Chiari Syndrome (BCS) (thrombosis of inferior vena cava and/or hepatic veins). The aim of this review is to report the scanty data available for SVT in the South Mediterranean area. In one Egyptian study, the possible circumstantial risk fa...

background budd-chiari syndrome (bcs) is defined as hepatic venous outflow obstruction (hvoo). bcs is an uncommon, life-threatening liver disorder. this study describes the clinical and etiological characteristics in addition to the long-term outcome of bcs in a single referral center in tehran, iran. methods we reviewed long-term outcome of patients who were diagnosed with bcs between 1989 and...

Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare, acquired, life-threatening haematological disorder. It is characterised by complement induced haemolytic anaemia, thrombosis and impaired bone marrow function. Thrombosis most commonly occurs in the hepatic, portal, superior mesenteric and cerebral veins. A22-year female, previously diagnosed with severe aplastic anaemia treated with anti-ly...

BACKGROUND Thrombosis of splanchnic or cerebral veins is a typical manifestation of polycythemia vera (PV) or essential thrombocythemia (ET). The recently identified Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F somatic mutation is closely related to chronic myeloproliferative disorders (CMD). OBJECTIVE To assess the incidence of the JAK2 V617F mutation among patients with splanchnic or cerebral venous thrombo...

AIM To estimate the prevalence of inherited prothrombotic risk factors in patients with splanchnic venous thrombosis (SVT) and Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) and to compare the risk factor profiles between these two groups. METHODS In this prospective study, patients with abdominal venous thrombosis were studied. The patients were divided into two groups on the basis of the veins involved; splanc...
