Overview
There are no x-ray findings associated with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). However, an x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) like esophageal varices seen as lobulated posterior mediastinal masses on x-ray. Portal hypertension seen as silhouetting of the descending aorta and convex contour of the azygos-esophageal recess on x-ray. Most x-ray findings associated with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) have low sensitivity and are nondiagnostic.
