[Budd-Chiari syndrome and Vaquez disease: apropos of a case. Results of medical and surgical treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome].
A case is reported of polycythaemia vera associated with Budd-Chiari syndrome. Anticoagulant treatment produced a favorable outcome. A review of the literature prompts the conclusion that in the context of polycythaemia vera surgery does not produce better results than a purely medical approach. We therefore feel that in the type of patient we report, anticoagulation should be maintained for as long as possible.
