Budd-Chiari syndrome: a short radiological review.
A short review of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is given with detailed radiological findings from ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and angiography and illustrated with two case reports. The cases had different clinical presentations: one antedated by Behçet's syndrome and complicated with aortic aneurysm, the other with a provisional diagnosis of a tuberculous abdomen. The radiological features of BCS, especially the changing appearance under dual-phase CT, are discussed. The respective diagnostic sensitivity and efficacy of other imaging modalities are mentioned.
