This case study details a rare benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis syndrome in a young male. The condition, initially suspected as viral hepatitis, was confirmed via liver biopsy, highlighting a unique hyperbilirubinaemia disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Recurrent jaundice (icterus) of unknown origin can mimic common liver diseases like viral hepatitis.
  • Accurate diagnosis of rare hyperbilirubinaemia syndromes is crucial for appropriate patient management.
  • Summerskill-Walshe syndrome represents a specific category within intrahepatic cholestasis disorders.

Observation:

  • A 19-year-old male presented with recurrent jaundice over multiple admissions.
  • Initial suspicion focused on viral hepatitis due to the clinical presentation.
  • Liver biopsy during an acute phase was essential for diagnosis.

Findings:

  • The patient was diagnosed with benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis.
  • This rare syndrome presented as a form of hyperbilirubinaemia.

  • Histological findings from liver biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering rare liver conditions in cases of unexplained recurrent jaundice.
    • Emphasizes the diagnostic value of liver biopsy in differentiating hyperbilirubinaemia syndromes.
    • Contributes to the understanding of Summerskill-Walshe syndrome and its classification within liver disorders.
