    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 2016 Sep 08; 53(9):833-834. PubMed ID: 27771654.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma is an uncommon complication described in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome. CASE CHARACTERISTICS: A 12-year-old boy with Budd-Chiari syndrome, who was earlier treated with Transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS), presented with acute onset hemoperitoneum and hypotension. OUTCOME: It was diagnosed to be a case of ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma. MESSAGE: Successful TIPS may not prevent the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, and children with Budd Chiari syndrome should be monitored for the same.
