INTRODUCTION. Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) was originally described as a rare vascular disorder that encompasses an array of symptoms due to obstruction of hepatic blood outflow at the level of the hepatic veins or hepatic portion of the inferior vena cava (IVC)[].The symptoms resulting from this type of occlusion of the hepatic outflow, "classical BCS", were first described by Budd[2,3] in Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) are two major vascular disorders of the liver, of which both can cause portal hypertension related complications, but their locations of obstruction are different. BCS refers to the obstruction from the hepatic vein to the junction between inferior vena cava and right atrium Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is an uncommon disorder defined as hepatic venous outflow tract obstruction, which is independent of the level or mechanism of obstruction, given the obstruction is not due to pericardial disease, cardiac disease, or sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (veno-occlusive disease).[1] Primary Budd-Chiari syndrome is defined as obstruction due to a predominantly venous The etiology and treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome are discussed separately. (See "Etiology of the Budd-Chiari syndrome" and "Budd-Chiari syndrome: Management".) EPIDEMIOLOGY. Studies suggest that in non-Asian countries, Budd-Chiari syndrome is more common in women and usually presents in the third or fourth decade of life (although it may Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare vascular disorder of the liver, caused by an occlusion of the hepatic vein, which requires a stepwise approach to treatment. Many studies have investigated potential prognostic indicators, in the hopes of guiding treatment strategies for this understudied disease.
