Abstract:
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a chronic cholestatic liver disease, is increasingly recognized in association with chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC). Two cases of PSC were diagnosed among 78 Arab patients (2.7%) with CUC followed up at Riyadh Central Hospital. Detailed case reports of the patients and review of PSC are presented, in order to draw attention to a hitherto under-diagnosed condition. This is the first report of PSC among Arabs.
