The Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is caused by hepatic venous outflow obstruction, which often leads to death as a result of portal hypertension and liver failure. Therapeutic approaches vary widely from conventional medical therapy to liver transplantation. If and when a patient suffering with BCS needs surgery remains a matter of contention. However, it is well accepted that portacaval shunt surgery and orthotopic liver transplantation represent efficient surgical treatments of this condition. We report on a patient with an eventful course after BCS was diagnosed. After portacaval shunt surgery the patient had acute liver failure and had a successful orthotopic liver transplantation.
