Objective  To explore the treatment of a case of clonorchiasis with Budd-Chiari syndrome through multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion. Methods  A case of clonorchiasis with Budd-Chiari syndrome was treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in August 2021. We summarized the discussion of MDT and the process of diagnosis and treatment. Results  The patient was admitted because of “more than 8 years after partial hepatectomy and more than 1 year of abdominal distension”. Eight years before admission, the patient underwent right hepatic trisegmentectomy and left hepaticojejunostomy due to a huge space occupying right liver. Postoperative pathological examination revealed multifocal necrosis with granulomatous reaction, and parasitic infection was considered. One year before admission, the patient began to have ascites, and the medical treatment was ineffective. The CT examination of the upper abdomen after admission showed hepatic segmental stenosis of the inferior vena cava, unclear display of the hepatic veins and a large amount of ascites. After MDT discussion, this patient underwent direct intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (DIPS) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) , and the stent was unobstructed in the 9-month follow-up after discharge, and no recurrence of ascites was found. Conclusions  DIPS combined with PTA can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of clonorchiasis with Budd-Chiari syndrome. Discussion through MDT mode can improve the effectiveness of treatment and obtain better prognosis.
