THE BUDD-CHIARI SYNDROME AND BUERGER’S DISEASE A CASE REPORT
Keywords:
Buerger's disease, Budd-Chiari SyndromeAbstract
Background: Buerger’s disease is an inflammatory non atheromatous distal arteriopathy affecting mainly young male smokers. There is some controversy about the existence of visceral localisations of the disease.
Aim :Raport a new case Observation We report the case of a 40 years old man who developed a Budd Chiari syndrome with thromboses of the right
hepatic venous. Later, he presented with rheumatic and distal occlusive arterial manifestations diagnosed as Buerger’s disease.
Conclusion :We underline the fact that digestive manifestations and hepatic involvement are less known and sometimes misdiagnosed.
