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 xray. portal hypertension seen as silhouetting of the descending aorta and convex contour of the azygos-esophageal recess on xray. Most x-ray findings associated with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) have low sensitivity and are nondiagnostic.

X Ray

    • Esophageal varices: Seen as lobulated posterior mediastinal masses on xray.
    • Portal hypertension: Seen as silhouetting of the descending aorta and convex contour of the azygos-esophageal recess on xray.
  • Most xray findings associated with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) have low sensitivity and are nondiagnostic.
