Overview

Echocardiography or Ultrasound

Budd-Chiari syndrome is most commonly diagnosed using ultrasound studies of the abdomen and retrograde angiography).

  • A system of venous collaterals may form around the occlusion which may be seen on imaging as a "spider's web."
  • Obliteration of hepatic veins, thrombosis or stenosis, spiderweb vessels, large collateral vessels, or a hyperechoic cord replacing a normal vein.
