Historically coined (at present hardly used any more) term for the "intrahepatic pregnancy scholestasis" which is synonymous with " Pruritus gravidarum" in dermatological language use. It should be discussed whether there is an identity with the polymorphic eruption of pregnancy or PUPP. See also pregnancy, skin changes.
