Core Tip

Core tip: In total, 11 case reports and 18 case series were systematically reviewed. These articles stated the main causes of sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) and summarized the common clinical symptoms and abnormal laboratory indicators. Numerous characteristic magnetic resonance imaging features could provide more valuable information for early diagnosis of SOS.
