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.

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.

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.

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.
