ABSTRACT
The Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) was diagnosed in a 30-year-old male hospitalized with hepatomegaly, abdominal collateral vessels and hepatic veins and inferior vena cava thrombosis (IVC) in 1988. The presence of circulating lupus anticoagulant (LAC) was suspected and demonstrated on this occasion in view of an earlier diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and recurrent vein thrombosis dating from 1981. There are sporadic reports of an association of BCS with SLE and other autoimmune diseases. The recent literature also describes associations with hypercoagulability due to LAC. These are reviewed together with the personal case to provide the rationale for correct diagnosis and therapy.
