| Core Tip |
Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is a rare disease, but it seems quite common in our country and in North Africa in general. However, we do not know the etiological features of this disease in our region. We collected 115 cases of BCS in 6 years. A fairly complete etiologic assessment was achieved. We identified the cause of BCS in 77%. It was multifactorial in 27%. The etiologies were dominated by the myeloproliferative disease 34%, followed by antiphospholipid syndrome in 21%. Finally, the etiological distribution in our patients does not differ too much from what is reported in Western countries.
