Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Mirizzi syndrome is a rare condition involving biliary obstruction and jaundice.
  • It is caused by external compression of the common hepatic bile duct due to an impacted gallstone in the gallbladder neck or cystic duct.
  • Cholelithiasis (gallstones) is typically associated with this syndrome.

Observation:

  • A 64-year-old woman presented with jaundice and abdominal pain.
  • Previous endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) showed no common bile duct stones.
  • A subsequent ERC revealed a cystic duct gallstone causing Mirizzi syndrome.

Findings:

  • Endoscopic stone extraction failed.
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed, but the impacted stone remained.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Successful endoscopic extraction of the cystic duct stone resolved symptoms and jaundice.

    • Implications:

    • Mirizzi syndrome can occur even without cholecystolithiasis.
    • Accurate diagnosis and timely intervention are crucial for managing biliary obstruction.
    • Close interdisciplinary collaboration ensures optimal patient outcomes in complex cases.
