Abstract
To study the diagnostic methods and treatment outcomes in children with Budd- Chiari syndrome. Case records of 25 patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome were evaluated retrospectively. These patients were investigated with imaging techniques and underwent balloon angioplasty or surgical management. 21 patients underwent balloon angioplasty, of which 17 had good medium- to long-term results, while only one out of four patients who underwent a portocaval shunt survived. The balloon angioplasty has satisfactory outcome in the treatment of acute Budd-Chiari syndrome. In failed cases, the surgical therapy may be attempted, but the outcomes do not appear rewarding.
