"Vanishing bile duct syndrome is a rare condition characterised by the progressive loss of the small, intra-hepatic bile ducts causing ductopenia and cholestatic liver injury, which may be irreversible, leading to biliary cirrhosis, liver failure, and death 1."
"Given that vanishing bile duct syndrome involves the small, intra-hepatic bile ducts, imaging tests are generally unremarkable 3,4,7. Modalities like MRCP, ERCP and ultrasound can be used to rule out other causes of cholestasis 4. In severe cases of vanishing bile duct syndrome, imaging can show secondary features of cirrhosis, hepatomegaly and periportal fibrosis 9."
