Summary

  1. 1.

    The findings of three cases of hepatic vein thrombosis in 466 autopsies emphasize the fact that the syndrome is not very rare and a suggestion is made that this condition should be kept in mind as a possibility in all cases of clinically atypical cirrhosis, especially when not associated with jaundice.

  2. 2.

    Congenital stenosis or atresia of the openings of the hepatic veins does account for hepatic vein thrombosis in the infant. That the condition can be clinically recognized is well illustrated by the report of Case 1.

  3. 3.

    The cases presented confirm the opinion that in theBudd-Chiari syndrome, manifest icterus is rarely encountered and is of diagnostic importance.
