Abstract.
A 35-year-old woman with clinical features of Budd–Chiari syndrome is presented. Abdominal ultrasonography, computed tomography, and venography disclosed that the venous congestion in this patient resulted from complex venous anomalies including azygos–hemiazygos continuation, absent superior hepatic veins, and retroaortic transposition of the left renal vein.
