RARE CASE OF BUDD-CHIARI SYNDROME (BCS) WITH RIGHT INGUINAL HERNIA: A CASE REPORT

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is an uncommon disorder characterized by obstruction of hepatic venous outflow. The obstruction may be thrombotic or non-thrombotic anywhere along the venous course from the hepatic venules to junction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) to the right atrium. Hepatic veno-occlusive disease and cardiac disorders are excluded from this definition. BCS is a heterogeneous clinical condition-it may be curable or potentially lethal.
