Eight cases of surgically proven Budd Chiari disease, have been explored pre- operatively by cine-angiography. This procedure is very safe and simple, and allows a dynamic study of the intra- and extra-hepatic pathways. The authors are reviewing the different modalities of radiologic evaluation of Budd-Chiari disease, including inferior vena cava phlebography, opacification of supra-hepatics veins, and coeliac arteriography. They propose a flow sheet in the radiological work-up of these patients.
