Area of Science:

Pediatric Gastroenterology
Hepatology
Internal Medicine

Background:

Recurrent cholestatic jaundice presents a diagnostic challenge in pediatric cases.
Distinguishing benign forms from obstructive causes is crucial for management.

Observation:

A 14-year-old female experienced recurrent cholestatic jaundice starting at age 7.
Clinical presentation included repeated jaundice episodes without extrahepatic obstruction.

Findings:

Liver biopsy revealed patterns consistent with benign recurrent cholestasis.
The diagnosis was supported by the recurrent nature of jaundice and absence of obstruction.

Implications:

Benign recurrent cholestasis requires careful diagnosis, differentiating it from other causes of jaundice.

The fluctuating clinical course complicates the assessment of potential therapeutic interventions.
