Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) results from the occlusion or flow reduction in the hepatic veins or inferior vena cava and can be treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt when hepatic vein recanalization fails.1-3 Hypercoagulable patients with primary BCS are predisposed to development of new areas of thrombosis within the TIPS shunt or IVC. This case details a patient with BCS, pre-existing TIPS extending to the right atrium, and chronic retrohepatic IVC thrombosis who underwent sharp recanalization of the IVC with stenting into the TIPS stent bridging the patient until his subsequent hepatic transplantation.

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is complete or partial occlusion in the hepatic veins and the hepatic portion of the inferior vena cava (IVC). The cause of BCS is not well known yet, however: abnormal vessel wall shear stress caused by blood flow is thought to increase the likelihood of developing BCS. In order to reveal the formation mechanism of BCS, we construct several vessel models of the IVC and hepatic veins from medical images and study the characteristics of the blood flow in the vicinity of the junctions of the hepatic veins with the IVC numerically.

Presenting an unusual case of 27 years old female who presented at 18 weeks of pregnancy with second trimester bleeding per vaginum. Patient had history of recurrent abortions on examination was found to have hypertension and thrombocytopenia. Usg done revealed severe oligohydramnios. Patient was managed conservatively but aborted spontaneously at 22 weeks of gestation. Post-abortionl on day 2 patient developed abdominal distension and liver function tests were found to be deranged. USG and CT abdomen and pelvis was done, which revealed Budd chiari syndrome due to inferior vena cava (IVC) web. This extremely rare condition is characterized by obstruction of inferior vena cava by membrane or fibrous band. This condition is diagnosed by radiological techniques which in our patient revealed classical findings of caudate lobe hypertrophy, non-visualization of hepatic veins, moderate hepatomegaly and spleenomegaly and multiple collaterals. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy done which revealed large varieces for which endoscopic variceal ligation was done. IVCgram and IVC plasty was done by interventional radiology department 6 weeks after abortion. The aim of this case report is to highlight an extremely rare cause of Budd Chiari syndrome and IVC web in patient with recurrent abortion with spleenomegly leading to thrombocytopenia. It is important to rule out other differential diagnosis in these patients like APLA, ITP.

ABSTRACT Hydatid cyst of the liver, causing compression of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and hepatic veins is a rare cause of secondary Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). As the hydatid disease is endemic in India, it is a rare but treatable cause of BCS. The early diagnosis and timely intervention can prevent hepatic complications leading to BCS in the affected patients. How to cite this article Mahajan D, Kang M, Gupta R, Khandelwal N. Hydatid Cyst of Liver: A Rare Cause of Secondary Budd-Chiari Syndrome. J Postgrad Med Edu Res 2013;47(3): 159-161.
