title: [Budd-Chiari syndrome with medullar compression].
abstract: We report a case of Budd-Chiari syndrome caused by protein C deficiency. The association of thrombosis of the the inferior vein cava of the hepatic vein resulted in the development of epidural varices and a central and peripheral neurological syndrome. These symptoms, which are atypical in this disease, resolved after surgical treatment of the Budd-Chiari syndrome (cavoatrial and mesocaval stenting).
