Although the mortality rate associated with Beh et＊s disease is low, it can escalate in the presence of Budd每Chiari syndrome and may be further complicated by intracardial thrombus formation. It is therefore important to detect and initiate management early in the disease course. The imaging modalities of choice should be minimally invasive as certain procedures may aggravate Beh et＊s disease by initiating a thrombosis or aggravating an existing one. In Beh et＊s disease-induced Budd每Chiari syndrome, cardiac investigation is crucial in the work-up in order to identify any cardiac involvement and determine the etiology of intracardial thrombus. Furthermore, the treatment should ultimately focus on controlling the activity of Beh et＊s disease. We report an unusual case of Beh et＊s disease presenting with Budd每Chiari syndrome complicated by intracardial thrombus in a young Korean man.
