Ultrasound and Doppler Features of Budd-Chiari Syndrome in Pediatric Population

Abstract: Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) occurs as a result of hepatic venous outflow obstruction. In the pediatric population, the etiologies vary as compared with the adult population. Decompensation can occur faster in this set of patients. Ultrasound and Doppler represent important imaging modalities for diagnosing BCS in children. The imaging features differ depending upon the level of obstruction, acuteness of the condition, and secondary decompensation. Caudate lobe hypertrophy is a salient feature. Obstruction at th… Show more

“…We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of all children under 18 years of age who presented to King's College Hospital, London from January 2001 to November 2015 with a clinical diagnosis of primary BCS. The diagnosis of BCS was made on the basis of demonstration of occlusion of all 3 HVs with or without occlusion of inferior vena cava (6) on colour Doppler. In cases with a high index of suspicion and a non‐contributory Doppler study, contrast‐enhanced computerised tomography or magnetic resonance venography scan (Fig.…”

“…Patients with diseases that cause only a partial obstruction to hepatic venous flow can also present with intrahepatic venous collaterals, including diaphragmatic hernia or hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia 6 . Visualization of intrahepatic venous collateral vessels in patients presenting with nonspecific liver disease restricts differential diagnoses to only a few conditions, making accurate recognition essential 7,8 . These IVC have been extensively described and classified in human medicine 9 …”
