An analysis of ultrasound scanning of patients with hepatic veins (HV) pathology in order to clarify sonographic signs of Budd-Chiari syndrome was performed at the premises of the Regional state budget health care facility “Regional Clinical Hospital” in the city of Krasnoyarsk. The occurrence rate of the syndrome in the population was 1:100,000. The patients showed diff erent combinations of sonographic signs. Stenosis (or occlusion) of HV was found in 8 (88.9 %) patients; thrombotic masses in vessel lumens were found in 2 (22.2 %) patients, HV architectonics was compromised in 9 (100 %) patients, HV wall irregularities were registered in 9 (100 %) patients and pylephlebitis symptoms were observed in 4 (44.4 %) patients. HV thrombosis is diagnosed through Doppler ultrasound with the possibility of HV permeability along its entire length and evaluation of perivascular hepatic parenchyma with dynamic control.
