What Is Budd Chiari Syndrome?
2. Budd-Chiari Syndrome In Children
As the name suggests, pediatric Budd Chiari syndrome, which is the rarest of all types of the disease, affects only children. There is also only one type of the condition that affects children that we know of. In the majority of cases it happens because of a medical condition that causes blood clots.
Pediatric Budd Chiari syndrome develops very gradually over time and it will take a long time for any permanent damage to be caused. It can be found in children that are as young as 9 months old, and it is also more common in boys than it is in girls.
