ABSTRACT

Budd-Chiari syndrome is a clinical spectrum characterized by the manifestations that arise from hepatic venous flow obstruction at any level from the hepatic venules to inferior vena cava (IVC) and the right atrium. Evaluation and diagnosis by imaging is the corner stone in early diagnosis. Computed tomography scans show various typical findings in Budd-Chiari syndrome. We present a case of Budd- Chiari syndrome with the typical “Flip-Flop Sign” in CT scan.

Keywords: Hepatic, IVC, CT scan.
