Overview
Echocardiography or Ultrasound
Budd-Chiari syndrome is most commonly diagnosed using ultrasound studies of the abdomen and retrograde angiography).
- A system of venous collaterals may form around the occlusion which may be seen on imaging as a "spider's web."
- Obliteration of hepatic veins, thrombosis or stenosis, spiderweb vessels, large collateral vessels, or a hyperechoic cord replacing a normal vein.
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of Budd-Chiari.
- Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of Acute Budd-Chiari include :
- Hepatomegaly
- Splenomegaly
- Heterogeneous echotexture
- Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of Chronic Budd-Chiari include :
- hypertrophied caudate lobe
- peripheral atrophy of affected regions
- regenerative nodules
- gallbladder wall thickening
- ascites
