Summary

Protein C deficiency caused Budd-Chiari syndrome, leading to unusual neurological symptoms. Surgical intervention for the syndrome resolved these atypical neurological manifestations.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare condition characterized by hepatic venous outflow obstruction.
  • Protein C deficiency is a prothrombotic disorder that can predispose individuals to venous thromboembolism.
  • The interplay between genetic thrombophilia and acquired conditions like Budd-Chiari syndrome requires further investigation.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with Budd-Chiari syndrome secondary to protein C deficiency.
  • The syndrome manifested with atypical symptoms, including epidural varices and central/peripheral neurological deficits.
  • These neurological complications are not commonly associated with Budd-Chiari syndrome.

Findings:

  • The case highlights an unusual presentation of Budd-Chiari syndrome in a patient with protein C deficiency.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The development of epidural varices and neurological syndrome was directly linked to hepatic and inferior vena cava thrombosis.
  • Successful surgical management of Budd-Chiari syndrome (cavoatrial and mesocaval stenting) led to the resolution of neurological symptoms.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering thrombophilic disorders in the etiology of Budd-Chiari syndrome.
    • It suggests that atypical neurological presentations can occur in Budd-Chiari syndrome and may be reversible.
    • Effective management of the underlying vascular obstruction is crucial for improving neurological outcomes in such patients.
