[Inferior vena cava thrombosis responsible for chronic Budd-Chiari syndrome during hepatic and digestive amyloidosis].
The case of a 39 year old woman with amyloidosis of the liver and the digestive tract presenting with obstruction of the inferior vena cava is reported. Computed tomography after bolus injection of contrast material revealed a typical patchy fan-shaped image, of hepatic vein obstruction. The association of Budd-Chiari's syndrome with amyloidosis may be related to the increased risk of thrombosis observed in the latter disease.
