Özet
Budd-Chiari syndrome is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by hepatic venous outflow obstruction. Although there are no guidelines for treatment of patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome, thrombolytic therapy may be useful in patients with acute Budd-Chiari syndrome. In this report, a boy with Budd-Chiari syndrome due to membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava treated with systemic and local administration of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator is described. We would like to emphasize the role of systemic and local fibrinolytic treatment in these patients. © 2006 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins.
