Budd-Chiari syndrome due to congenital membranous obstruction of inferior vena cava can be cured by appropriate surgical correction. A high index of suspicion is required to identify this condition and investigate it properly. Experience of three such cases is presented; two had a successful surgical correction and one refused any surgical intervention. Both patients who underwent operation are doing well and are symptom-free after 4 and 6 years, respectively. The diagnosis and the presentation of inferior vena caval obstruction and the various surgical procedures that are available for relieving the congenital obstruction of inferior vena cava are reviewed.
