Abstract
RAMIREZ MONTESINOS, Rafael; MORENO ARIAS, Virginia; SEMPERE DURA, Tomás and PEDROL CLOTET, Enric. Acute Budd Chiari Syndrome. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2011, vol.4, n.3, pp.244-245. ISSN 2386-8201. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1699-695X2011000300010.
Budd Chiari Syndrome is characterised by the obstruction of venous return of the hepatic veins, the inferior vena cava and the right atrium. This case illustrates the index of clinical suspicion necessary for early diagnosis of Budd Chari Syndrome when initial complementary tests (transaminases and abdominal ultrasound) are not conclusive.
Keywords : Budd Chiari Syndrome; Thrombosis of right liver vein; Contraceptives Oral.
