Hepatic vein thrombus is a common and often fatal complication of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria. Rapid diagnosis with ultrasound, computed tomography or venography is required to improve the prognosis. Although heparin is often the initial therapy of choice, thrombolytic agents may be more beneficial in the early management.
