Resumen:
A case of a patient with clinical picture of epatosplenomegaly, portal hypertension, dilatation of hepatic veins and inferior vena cava, without venous thrombosis or other causes of obstruction of rightsided heart, is described. This picture is compatible with the Budd-Chiari syndrome. Echocardiography has shown a hypertrophic cardiomyopathy causing relevant dilatation of both atria and it has allowed us to exclude the presence of a constrictive pericarditis. The hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is first considered as a cardiac cause of cirrhosis mimicking the Budd-Chiari syndrome.
