Abstract

Benign Recurrent Intrahepatic Cholestasis [BRIC] is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by recurrent cholestatic attacks with symptom free intervals. The attacks can start at any age but the first attack is usually seen before second decade of life. The onset and resolution of which are caused by unknown factors. Association of BRIC with acute recurrent pancreatitis though recognized is very rare. We here report the two cases of young adults with age 19-year-old and 22-year-old presenting with recurrent attacks of hyperbilirubinemia and cholestasis in association with gallstones and acute recurrent pancreatitis. The gallstones were not the cause of pancreatitis.
