| Popis: | Budd–Chiari syndrome is characterized by hepatic venous outflow tract obstruction. We describe an 18-year-old female of known celiac disease presented with progressive abdomen distention and shortness of breath for the last 1 month. Computed tomography of abdomen revealed hepatic vein obstruction. The patient was diagnosed with Budd–Chiari syndrome. Coagulation profile showed an increased homocysteine level. Serum folate level was also decreased. The patient was put on oral anticoagulant with a gluten-free diet. After 4 weeks, the patient showed significant improvement with decreased ascites. The association of Budd–Chiari syndrome with Celiac disease has not yet been fully understood. There have been few reports that described this rare association. Budd–Chiari syndrome should be considered as an important differential in a patient with unexplained ascites and celiac disease. |
