Clin Case Rep. 2021 May 25;9(5):e04326. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.4326. eCollection 2021 May.

Abstract

Acute Budd-Chiari syndrome and complete portal vein thrombosis are important features of myeloproliferative neoplasm that may occur simultaneously, resulting in acute liver failure. Liver transplantation could be effective even in such a catastrophic condition without post-transplant complications.

Keywords: Acute Budd‐Chiari syndrome; acute liver failure; liver transplantation; portal vein thrombosis.
