Budd-Chiari syndrome is thrombosis of the hepatic veins, and associated conditions vary. Budd-Chiari and celiac sprue association is a rare condition. A 24-year-old woman was admitted to the clinic with complaints of weakness, distended abdomen and weight loss for four months. Results of investigation showed Budd-Chiari syndrome and malabsorption with endomysial antibodies and intestinal villous atrophy. All known etiological factors for Budd-Chiari syndrome were negative. Three months after initiation of a gluten-free diet and replacement therapy, she died from infection of ascitic fluid and renal failure following umbilical hernia rupture. Celiac sprue must be remembered especially in the event of Budd-Chiari syndrome and malabsorption. |
