Abstract

Aim: Vanishing bile duct syndrome (VBDS) is a rare condition that affects the liver and bile ducts. It is characterized by the progressive destruction or loss of bile ducts in the liver. The causes of vanishing bile duct syndrome are not fully understood, but it can occur as a result of a variety of factors, including infections, autoimmune disorders, certain medications, and genetic conditions.

Presentation: we report a case of VBDS after a treatment with Bortezumid and Linelomide. We explain the pathophysiology and the actual knowledge of the treatment.

Conclusion: Plasmapheresis not seems to replace immunosuppressive treatment if there are not improvement and support that the use of plasmapheresis in isolated VBDS is limited.
