For the last 6 years, he was treated as a case of chronic liver disease (CLD) with spironolactone and frusemide. He was non-icteric, mildly anaemic with mild oedema, clubbing, gynaecomastia and engorged vein over anterior abdominal wall, flanks and back. Direction of venous flow was from below upward. There were mild hepatosplenomegaly, ascites and bilateral testicular atrophy. He was diagnosed as a case of Budd-Chiari Syndrome (BCS) on the basis of physical examination and it was confirmed by the findings of ultrasonography, liver scan and doppler study.
