[benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis]

Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis is a rare hereditary disorder characterised by recurrent episodes ofcholestasis. We report the case of a young male patient with benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis who presented to us with recurrent cholestatic jaundice and pruritus with negative work up for all possible aetiologies and a liver biopsy consistent with intrahepatic cholestasis. He improved on treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid and ondansterone and is doing well on follow up.
