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.
