Abstract

Primary sclerosing cholangitis is an extra-intestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). About 5% of ulcerative colitis develops primary sclerosing cholangitis. Here we report a case presented with chronic loose stools and jaundice and was diagnosed to have Ulcerative colitis with associated Primary sclerosing cholangitis.
