[The Budd-Chiari syndrome and Buerger's disease: a case report]. / Syndrome de Budd-Chiari et maladie de Buerger: à propos d'un cas.

BACKGROUND: Buerger's disease is an inflammatory non atheromatous distal arteriopathy affecting mainly young male smokers. There is some controversy about the existence of visceral localisations of the disease. AIM: Report a new case. OBSERVATION: We report the case of a 40-years-old man who developed a Budd Chiari syndrome with thromboses of the right hepatic venous. Later, he presented with rheumatic and distal occlusive arterial manifestations diagnosed as Buerger's disease. CONCLUSION: We underline the fact that digestive manifestations and hepatic involvement are less known and sometimes misdiagnosed.
