Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis in a Saudi child.
[benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis]
We
report
a
case
of
benign
recurrent
intrahepatic
cholestasis
(
BRIC
)
in
an
11
-
year
-old
Saudi
girl
who
developed
three
episodes
of
pruritus
and
jaundice
at
the
ages
of
4
,
8
,
and
9
years
.
These
episodes
were
almost
stereotypic
and
lasted
5
-
8
weeks
.
Although
she
had
elevated
liver
enzymes
and
serum
bile
acids
in
her
blood
during
the
attacks
,
they
returned
to
normal
between
attacks
.
Thorough
investigation
excluded
other
causes
of
liver
disease
and
her
recurrent
attacks
were
shortened
by
cholestyramine
therapy
.
A
diagnosis
of
BRIC
should
be
kept
in
mind
in
patients
with
cholestasis
.
