Abstract:
In this paper, the case of a 30 year-old Asiatic man with a Budd-Chiari syndrome secondary to a caval membranous web, associated with cirrhosis is presented. After unsuccessful percutaneous dilatation, liver transplantation associated with membranotomy treated the venous obstacle and ensured satisfactory recovery. Orthotopic liver transplantation is the most effective treatment in this setting.
