Abstract：
:This work aims at describing a particular case of Budd-Chiari syndrome in a ten-year-old girl. In our patient, the subjective and objective features of this disease, which is already rare during childhood, are associated with a well-assessed polyposis in the blind intestine (intestinum caecum). In our opinion, a possible connection between these two pathological events, a connection unheard of in the literature so far, is an interesting issue to be dealt with in this case report. The follow-up of our patient took place at the Pediatric Hospital of the University of Rome "La Sapienza" and lasted an overall period of 6 months. The girl was hospitalized twice and she underwent a large number of radiological and laboratory tests. The therapy consisted only of medical treatment and support measures. Liver transplant is regarded as the only chance to obtain a full recovery, but it has not yet been performed on our patient. It is by comparing those researches carried out on similar cases with the outcome of our personal study, that we come to the conclusion that, as for our patient, the Budd-Chiari syndrome can be classified as an idiopathic syndrome. Moreover, the fact that this syndrome and the polyposis of caecum occur at the same time in a patient can probably be considered as a coincidence.
