Objective To summarize the differences between Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) and hepatic veno-occlusive disease (HVOD). Methods Based on the current reports about BCS and HVOD, combined with the authors' clinical experience, a review was performed for the 2 kinds of diseases. Results BCS and HVOD were both post-hepatic portal hypertension symptoms, and both would result in liver cirrhosis in the late phase. According to the different causes of 2 kinds of diseases clinically, and the corresponding clinical characteristics, most cases can be confirmed by the preliminary judgment. As for the cases without clear diagnosis, corresponding imaging examinations may be helpful, but the final diagnosis depended on the pathologic examination after liver biopsy. Conclusion There are some differences on the cause, clinical characteristic, and characteristic of images between the BCS and HVOD, that all of them contribute to differential diagnosis.
