“…The wide clinical spectrum and natural history of such cases have been reviewed by Nakamura et al (1968). It will be recalled that although such cases are reported to be the predominant cause of the Budd-Chiari syndrome in Japan (Nakamura et al, 1968), similar isolated cases have been reported from America (Bennett, 1950;Watkins and Fortin, 1964;Lam, Green, and Gale, 1965;Schaffner, Gadboys, Safran, Baron, and Aufses, 1967;Davis, Peters, and Reynold, 1968), England (Hepner, Steiner, and Bentall, 1969), India (Bhale Rao, Personal communication), Africa (Rogers, Chesler, Du Plessis, Joffe, and Joubert, 1967), and New Zealand (Smith, 1965). It is of interest that five of our 11 patients had the clinical, radiological, and haemodynamic similarity to the cases described as membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava in the hepatic portion (Kimura et al, 1963).…”

SUMMARY Clinical features of obstruction of the intrahepatic portion of the inferior vena cava were observed in five out of the 11 patients with the Budd-Chiari syndrome seen during the last four years. These patients apparently formed a distinct group from the remaining six and resembled in clinical course, biochemical features, haemodynamic findings, and radiological investigations the patients described as cases of membranous obliteration of the intrahepatic portion of the inferior vena cava. The present study reports five such patients diagnosed with the help of venous catheterization, percutaneous hepatography, and haemodynamic studies. The value of distinguishing these patients from those with obstruction due to hepatic vein occlusion is highlighted because of the difference in the prognosis and treatment.

“…With the availability of catheterisation techniques inferior vena cava obstruction in the hepatic portion as a cause of Budd-chiari syndrome is being more frequently recognised. Schaffner et al have highlighted the role of surgery in such patients (6).…”

“…However, it is now well known that Budd Chiari syndrome may also occasionally be due to the obstructive lesion of the hepatic portion of the inferior vena cava. Such cases have been reported from Japan (4,5) United States of America (6,7), England (8), Africa (9), New Zealand (10) and India (11). With the use of haemodynamic studies, venous catheterization, cavographic and hepatographic techniques it is now possible to diagnose the exact site of obstruction.…”
