Plain-English summary
A young Basenji dog was diagnosed with a rare liver condition called intrahepatic postsinusoidal venous obstruction, which is similar to a human condition known as Budd-Chiari syndrome. The dog underwent various imaging tests, including ultrasound and X-rays, to identify the problem. Unfortunately, the condition was congenital, meaning it was present from birth, and the dog did not survive. This case highlights the importance of recognizing unusual liver issues in pets.

Abstract
Intrahepatic postsinusoidal obstruction, similar to congenital Budd-Chiari syndrome in human patients, was diagnosed in a young Basenji dog. Sonographic, radiographic, and manometric studies were used in antemortem localization of this unusual functional lesion, that was believed to be congenital.
