[Budd-Chiari syndrome due to membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava of congenital origin. Ten-year follow-up after radiologic treatment].
We report a case of Budd-Chiari syndrome due to membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava with a congenital malformation composed of a left inferior vena cava at the sub-renal level with an azygo-caval continuation without a retrohepatic segment of the inferior vena cava. To our knowledge, this is the first report of this association. The congenital venous malformation suggests a congenital etiology to the inferior vena cava membrane. The membranous obstruction was treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. During the 10-year follow-up, there was no recurrence of the membranous obstruction as seen with Doppler ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging.
