Successful Pregnancy Outcome in an Operated Case of Budd-Chiari Syndrome Having Fetal Growth Restriction: A Twisted Tale of Gravid

Budd-Chiari Syndrome (BCS) primarily affects women in the reproductive age group, with an ever-increasing incidence in the general population. Due to its rarity, it is not known precisely how a pregnancy progresses in a woman with BCS and what can happen to the baby. A rare condition known as Budd-Chiari syndrome causes the hepatic veins in the liver to constrict and become blocked. The challenges in pregnancy, such as decreasing hepatic function, a rise in thrombotic and bleeding events, or ascites, have historically made pregnancy inappropriate in these people. Here, we present a case of an unbooked 24-year-old female, a known case of treated BCS with 36 weeks and three days gestation period. She was referred from a peripheral hospital to our hospital's emergency department because of having fetal growth restriction. By presenting this rare case, we expect more extensive studies will be conducted on the effect of pregnancy on BCS and the effect of BCS on pregnancy which will help obstetricians to turn this rare possibility of conception into a fair possibility.
