Abstract
Cocaine, a potent stimulant derived from coca plant leaves, is well-documented for its adverse cardiovascular effects. Among these complications, thrombosis has gained prominence as a significant concern, leading to thrombotic events in various vascular beds throughout the body, highlighting cocaine’s systemic pro-thrombotic impact. However, its role in hepatic vascular disorders remains relatively underrecognized. This case report details the clinical presentation of a 23-year-old male with Budd-Chiari syndrome linked to cocaine use disorder, emphasizing the critical need for healthcare providers to recognize hepatic vascular disorders as possible outcomes of cocaine abuse.
