History

1845 – Budd references Lambron in 1842 to be the first to describe inflammation of the portal vein secondary to mechanical obstruction [p136 1845]. Within the same section IV of ‘On diseases of the liver‘ Budd discusses in depth hepatic venous thrombosis associated with hepatomegaly, a collateral circulation, and ascites.
