    Journal: Rev Med Interne; 2008 Jun; 29(6):504-7. PubMed ID: 18407381.
    Abstract:
    We report a 20-year-old woman who presented with a massive portal thrombosis that rapidly extended to the superior and inferior vein cava system causing an acute Budd-Chiari syndrome. The investigations concluded to a primary antiphospholipid syndrome without any other prothrombotic factors. The outcome was fatal, 18 months later, despite anticoagulation, with hepatorenal syndrome and severe liver failure.
