title: Budd-Chiari syndrome in a patient with mixed connective-tissue disease.
abstract: We report a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome due to obstruction of the inferior vena cava associated with a connective tissue disease with a circulating anticoagulant. We believe that the connective tissue might be an etiology of the Budd-Chiari syndrome.
