  • Title: Budd-Chiari syndrome caused by membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava associated with coeliac disease.
    Author: Martínez F, Berenguer M, Prieto M, Montes H, Rayón M, Berenguer J.
    Journal: Dig Liver Dis; 2004 Feb; 36(2):157-62. PubMed ID: 15002826.
    Abstract:
    Ten cases of Budd-Chiari syndrome associated with coeliac disease have been reported in the literature, most of them in North African subjects. Supporting this association, we report a new case in a young Spanish Caucasian man in whom the cause of the syndrome was the membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava, an infrequent cause of Budd-Chiari syndrome in Western countries. A percutaneous balloon angioplasty was performed, with satisfactory outcome.
