📋Overview
Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare condition characterized by obstruction of the hepatic venous outflow tract, leading to impaired blood drainage from the liver. This obstruction causes liver congestion, hepatomegaly, and can progress to liver damage. The term is eponymous, but the condition is best described as hepatic vein thrombosis or hepatic venous outflow obstruction.
