Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a scarce but severe condition characterized by the obstruction of the hepatic veins, liver congestion, and consequent damage. This series brings up one unusual presentation of BCS associated with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and lupus nephritis (LN), which collectively complicate the clinical scenario.

Congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) are rare congenital vascular anomalies characterized by abnormal connections between the portal vein and systemic circulation, bypassing the liver. They can lead to complications such as recurrent encephalopathy, liver nodules, portopulmonary hypertension, and neurocognitive issues due to hyperammonemia and rarely kidney involvement. Hepatic hemodynamic changes can lead to liver nodules and hepatocellular carcinoma, particularly in extrahepatic shunts.
