    Types of Budd-Chiari syndrome

    Budd-Chiari syndrome is a relatively rare disorder caused by occlusion of hepatic veins. It presents with abdominal pain, ascites, and hepatomegally.

    Budd-Chiari syndrome has four clinical variants:

    • acute
    • subacute
    • chronic
    • fulminant

    Budd-Chiari syndrome can be:

    • primary (congenital obstruction  by webs or diaphragms)
    • secondary (multiple causes)

    Budd-Chiari syndrome has three morphological types:

    Type Description
    Type I - truncal type occlusion of inferior vena cava with or without involvement of hepatic veins
    Type II - radicular type occlusion of major hepatic veins
