We present here a case of a 22-year-old male patient with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) owing to alliance of multiple hypercoagulable conditions. The patient was admitted to GATA Haydarpasa Training Hospital for assesment of hepatosplenomegaly and ascites. By doppler ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT) and vena cavagraphy, Budd-Chiari syndrome was diagnosed. Results of diagnostic tests exhibited decreased activity, decreased antigenic concentration of Antithrombin (AT), low protein C activity, heterozygote Factor V Leiden mutation. In clinical progress, acute severe hepatic failure with encephalopathy occured and the patient was transferred to an another medical center for liver transplantation.
