Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis.
Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare cause of cholestasis in children. The disease may start in infancy or early childhood. Jaundice persists or recurs throughout life but does not lead to chronic liver disease or cirrhosis. Treatment is mostly symptomatic. The condition has not been reported in Indian children. We report an interesting case of BRIC in a 9-year-old boy who had recurrent episodes of jaundice since when he was 1 yr old.
