abstract: We present a patient with adult polycystic kidney disease, who developed a Budd-Chiari Syndrome due to compression of the hepatic venous outflow tract by liver cysts. In patients with adult polycystic kidney disease who present a fast ascites formation, it is of great importance to look for a Budd-Chiari Syndrome as a complication of liver cysts.
