AbstractThe association of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), Crohn’s disease (CD) and pregnancy is extremely rare. The successful medical treatment of BCS in the postpartum period in a woman with CD is presented.A 28-year-old woman with CD presented with fever of 42°C and gross abdominal distention 2 days following delivery. On sonographic examination, massive ascites and hepatosplenomegaly were noted. Color Doppler ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed a thrombus in the suprahepatic inferior vena cava causing significant luminal obstruction. She was diagnosed with BCS. Medical treatment with spironolactone, furosemide, imipenem, metronidazole, and enoxaparin improved the clinical picture.In a pregnant woman with CD, extreme thromboembolic events such as BCS might occur. If diagnosed early and treated in the acute phase, prognosis is fair.

Abstract Disseminated histoplasmosis is a life-threatening disease usually seen in immunocompromised patients living in endemic areas. We present an apparently immunocompetent patient with gastrointestinal histoplasmosis who was initially diagnosed as biopsy-proven Crohn’s disease. Following discontinuation of anti-inflammatory drugs and institution of antifungal therapy, his GI illness completely improved. Specific fungal staining should be routinely included in histopathologic assessment of tissue specimens diagnosed as Crohn’s disease.

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare, life-threatening disease caused by obstruction of hepatic venous outflow. Common presentations are right upper quadrant pain, ascites, and hepatomegaly. A diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome should be suspected when liver disease occurs in a patient with known risk factors for hypercoagulable state. We report a 22-years old transgender man presented with jaundice, marked ascites and hepatomegaly. Imaging studies showed complete thrombosis of all hepatic veins. Finally, he was diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome with antiphospholipid syndrome.   Figure 1  ภาพ CT upper abdomen แสดงให้เห็น marked ascites with heterogeneous liver enhancement, complete obliteration of all hepatic, caudate lobe hypertrophy, small intrahepatic venous collateral และ small arterial enhancing nodules

Uncommon Condition

'Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS)' is an uncommon condition induced by thrombotic or nonthrombotic obstruction to hepatic venous outflow. This disease can be potentially life-threatening but prognosis is more favorable in patient with IVC webs but is extremely poor in malignant and haematological cases. A cooperative collaboration of hepatologist and cardiologist can make the situation easy for diagnosis, even in treatment of some cases. (University Heart Journal 2007; 3 : 80-82)
