Electroconvulsive therapy in the treatment of catatonia in a patient with Budd Chiari syndrome: a case report.
Neurocase
January 2025
Department of Radiology, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland, OH, USA.
Catatonia may manifest as an independent entity or as a feature of a neuropsychiatric or medical illness. While electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the gold standard treatment for catatonia, it is typically administered if the patient's symptoms fail to respond to benzodiazepines. We describe the case of a 22-year-old male with Budd Chiari induced cirrhosis and no prior psychiatric history, who presented with symptoms of psychosis and hepatic encephalopathy, was treated in the ICU for multi-factorial delirium, developed symptoms of catatonia that failed to respond to lorazepam, ultimately requiring ECT with a favorable response.

Portal hypertension is a hemodynamic abnormality that complicates the course of cirrhosis, as well as other diseases that affect the portal venous circulation. The development of portal hypertension compromises prognosis, especially when it rises above a certain threshold known as clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH). In the consensus conference on Portal Hypertension promoted by the Spanish Association for the Study of the Liver and the Hepatic and Digestive diseases area of the Biomedical Research Networking Center (CIBERehd), different aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of portal hypertension caused by cirrhosis or other diseases were discussed.

BMJ Case Rep
January 2025
Radiodiagnosis and Interventional Radiology, AIIMS Bhubaneswar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India.
Budd-Chiari syndrome with obstruction in the inferior vena cava causes increased venous pressure in the azygous-hemiazygous system and paravertebral venous plexus, which is transmitted to the epidural venous plexus, devoid of the valves. It causes epidural venous plexus engorgement and venous congestion and may present rarely with low back pain or radiating pain. However, patients developing lower limb weakness as a complication of Budd-Chiari syndrome is an infrequent and severe presentation.

Article Synopsis
- Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare, serious condition caused by blocked blood flow from the liver due to clotting.

- This case report presents a new technique called hepatic venous thromboaspiration, which is used to help reopen the obstructed veins.
Behçet's disease and factor V Leiden: A thrombogenic synergy causing budd-chiari syndrome.
Radiol Case Rep
February 2025
Department of Internal Medicine, An Najah National University Hospital, Nablus, Palestine.
Behçet's Disease (BD) is a multisystem inflammatory disorder that can lead to severe vascular complications, including Budd-Chiari Syndrome (BCS), a rare but life-threatening condition characterized by hepatic vein obstruction. The co-occurrence of BD and inherited thrombophilia, such as Factor V Leiden mutation, significantly increases the risk of thrombosis, complicating the clinical management of affected individuals. In this case, a 16-year-old female initially presented with nonspecific symptoms of generalized fatigue and bone pain, which later progressed to abdominal distension and significant hepatosplenomegaly.
