Unlabelled: This article describes a case of a 26-year-old female with a history of Evan's syndrome who presented with severe exertional dyspnoea and abdominal discomfort. The patient was diagnosed with chronic Budd-Chiari syndrome, a rare vascular disorder characterized by obstruction of the hepatic vein. We discuss the risk factors, the clinical manifestations, and diagnostic methods for Budd-Chiari syndrome, as well as the possible association with an underlying incomplete systemic lupus erythematosus.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) includes conditions with autoimmune genesis, which are manifested by attacks of optic neuritis (ON) and transverse myelitis (TM), and also express aquaporin 4 (NMO-IgG) or myelin oligo-endocytic glycoprotein (MOGAb) antibodies. In rare cases, the disease may also have a clinical presentation with only TM, without ON or with ON, without TM. These conditions are also included in the spectrum.
