Historical, no longer commonly used term for a form of secondary biliary cirrhosis. Nonobstructive extrahepatic cholangitis with obstructive intrahepatic cholangitis, and cholestasis due to duodenal dyskinesia infection. A syndrome characterized by fever, jaundice, generalized lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, and moderate splenomegaly, skin pigmentation; xanthoma. Prevalent in middle-aged females; insidious onset.
Hanot first described the «cirrhose biliaire primitive in 1875. Robert Rössle in 1930 demonstrated that the biliary obstruction is really intrahepatical localised, and from the general concept elaborated the particulars of this syndrome. Hanot’s cirrhosis and the Rössle syndrome are variants of the same disturbance.
