Core Tip	Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a cholestatic disease of unclear etiopathogenesis, often seen in association with inflammatory bowel disease. It is characterized by fibrosis of the intra and extra hepatic bile ducts, resulting in stricturing disease, predi-sposing to cholangiocarcinoma. Diagnosis requires a high index of clinical suspicion and is often made by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in the appropriate clinical context, although endoscopic retrograde cholan-giopancreatography remains the gold standard. The latter being invasive is seldom used as a diagnostic modality and is reserved for management of complications including dilatation and stenting of dominant and anastomotic strictures, brush cytology and for SpyGlass Cholangioscopy.
