Abstract

Budd–Chiari syndrome is a rare liver disorder in which there is obstruction of hepatic veins causing liver cirrhosis and fulminant hepatic failure. It is a non-specific liver disorder of pregnancy, if it occurs in pregnancy, it should be managed by a multidisciplinary team approach involving an obstetrician, gastroenterologist, and interventional radiologist. We present a case of Budd–Chiari syndrome managed by right hepatic vein angioplasty and stenting, was on oral anticoagulants and became pregnant after that, and was managed in our hospital and had successful outcome of pregnancy.
