Özet
Budd-Chiari Syndrome is one of the several causes of portal hypertension and is characterised by hepatomegaly, ascites and abdominal pain. The treatment requires either medical or interventional / surgical procedures. A case of Budd-Chiari Syndrome with a membranous web that causes obstruction in the ostium of the inferior right hepatic vein is reported here which was treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). The patient was asymptomatic and off medication and there was no recurrence after 18-months follow-up.
