Abstract
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.
