  • Title: The use of nuclear medicine procedures in the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari syndrome.
    Author: Thijs LG, Heidendal GA, Huijgens PC, Mol JJ, Verkuyl M.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1978 Oct; 3(10):389-92. PubMed ID: 729310.
    Abstract:
    The case history of a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is described. The underlaying disease proved to be essential thrombocytosis. Congential elliptocytosis was also present. The value of the conventional liver scan, percutaneous splenoportoscintigraphy and isotopic phlebography of the inferior vena cava in the diagnosis of BCS is described. It is suggested that a combination of these three noninvasive techniques be used when BCS is suspected.
