Abstract
Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare disease characterized by a defect in hepatic venous drainage. It can be primary, occurring due to venous thrombosis, or secondary, caused by compression or invasion of the hepatic drainage veins. Symptoms can be acute, chronic, or even asymptomatic. Diagnosis is based on imaging tests that show hepatic vein obstruction, collateral circulation, and morphological changes in the liver. Treatment aims to identify and treat the underlying disease.We report a case of a patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome secondary to a liver hydatid cyst to highlight the radiological aspects of this pathology.
