The cases of ten patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome who were admitted to our medical centre between 1974 and 1986 were reviewed. There were three survivors; the remaining seven died after their disease had taken a rapid downhill course. The clinical course of Budd-Chiari syndrome and the various modalities of medical and surgical treatment are outlined.
