Sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS) is a disease that damages hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells, resulting in progressive occlusion and fibrosis of the lobular central vein and the occurrence of intrahepatic sinusoidal portal hypertension. However, SOS after liver transplantation (LT) is uncommon and potentially fatal. Here, we report a rare case of second-time recurrence of SOS after liver retransplantation (rLT).
