Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare medical condition that affects one in a million people and can be caused by various thrombotic and non-thrombotic factors. In rare instances, multiple factors may contribute to its development, with coagulation factor deficiencies being a less commonly implicated cause. This case report presents a case of BCS associated with protein C deficiency and antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS). The patient is a 30-year-old woman who was brought in due to sudden abdominal distension. She had a three weeks history of intractable vomiting and loose stools. There was also a history of repeated miscarriages. The laboratory findings revealed slightly elevated liver enzymes, a positive Anti-β2 GPI screening, moderately decreased Protein C level and activated protein C resistance/FV Leiden. The patient was discharged after 21 days of inpatient treatment with symptomatic improvement.
