Membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava is a rare congenital anomaly that results in the primary type of Budd-Chiari syndrome. We describe the case of an 8-year-old boy initially diagnosed with intrahepatic portal hypertension, who underwent percutaneous transluminal balloon dilatation of an inferior vena cava membrane located in the suprahepatic inferior vena cava, which resulted in successful palliation of his symptoms.
