Budd‐Chiari‐like syndrome associated with an adrenal phaeochromocytoma in a dog
2001
Schoeman, J. P. | Stidworthy, M. F.
A nine‐year‐old dog was presented with sudden‐onset ascites and a history of two previous syncopal episodes. Diagnostic tests pointed to a Budd‐Chiari‐like syndrome, with obstruction of the caudal vena cava between the liver and heart. The ascites was refractory to treatment and the dog was euthanased. On postmortem examination, a phaeochromocytoma of the left adrenal gland was present, with contiguous invasions into the caudal vena cava, extending cranially as far as the cavoatrial junction. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of a Budd‐Chiari‐like syndrome associated with a phaeochromocytoma in a dog.
