RESUMEN
We report a rare case of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 from India. The diagnosis was confirmed on the basis of gene mutation analysis. The child had intense pruritus refractory to conventional medical management. As liver biopsy did not reveal any cirrhosis, partial external biliary diversion was considered as an alternative to liver transplant. We performed cholecystoappendicostomy rather than the conventional method of using an ileal loop as a conduit between the gall bladder and abdominal wall. Child recovered completely.
