title: Budd-Chiari syndrome and portal vein thrombosis due to essential thrombocytosis.
abstract: Budd-Chiari syndrome secondary to essential thrombocytosis has been described in a few reports in the English literature. Associated portal vein thrombosis occurs very rarely. Herein, we report a case presented with ascites and finally diagnosed with hepatic and portal vein thrombosis, and essential thrombocytosis. We discussed the therapeutic approaches in the light of pertinent literature.
