Abstract
Intra-hepatic portal-venous collaterals are characteristic of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) and are usually of small caliber and seen on Doppler. Creation of large portal-systemic shunt, either radiologically (Transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt) or surgically results in excellent long term outcomes in BCS. Here, we report a series of three rare cases of asymptomatic BCS, who had spontaneous large intra-hepatic portal-systemic shunts.Entities:
