title: [The Budd-Chiari syndrome as the first manifestation of polycythemia vera].
abstract: The case of a 57-year-old male diagnosed as having Budd-Chiari syndrome secondary to a polycythemia vera, which produced a thrombosis of the suprahepatic veins as a first manifestation, is presented. The rarity of this clinical case and the rapidly lethal evolution of the patient, confirms the bad prognosis of this association.
