ABSTRACT
Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is an uncommon disease caused by obstruction of hepatic venous outflow. This results in centrilobular congestion and necrosis, ultimately leading to fibrosis and cirrhosis of liver. Stenosis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) can be a one of causes of BCS. We report the a case of a 72-year-old woman who presented significant IVC stenosis due to extrinsic compression resulting by a tortuous abdominal aorta which was incidentally detected by echocardiography and successfully treated by stenting. To the date the extrinsic compression of IVC resulting from tortous aorta has never been reported to cause of BCS.
