    Abstract:
    Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by hepatic venous outflow obstruction at any level from the small hepatic veins to the atrio cava junction. BCS could have serious consequences if not treated promptly. Comprehensive angiographic studies, computerised tomography, liver ultrasonography, histology and pathologic analyses are essential for establishing the disease severity, stratifying risk factors, choosing the appropriate therapy and objectively assessing the response. The main objective of therapy is to alleviate portal and IVC hypertension. Here we present a report of a young man with BCS who underwent mesocaval shunt. The eight months follow up showed that patient was free of symptoms and duplex scans confirmed the patency of the shunt.
