Mirizzi syndrome, a rare condition involving gallstones obstructing the bile duct, presents diagnostic challenges. Surgical intervention, often including gallbladder removal, is typically required for treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery

Background:

  • Mirizzi syndrome is characterized by a specific cystic duct anatomical variant and gallstone impaction.
  • This leads to extrinsic compression and obstruction of the common hepatic duct, causing recurrent cholangitis.
  • Clinical presentation often mimics obstructive jaundice, complicating initial diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on six cases of Mirizzi syndrome.
  • To highlight the diagnostic difficulties and surgical management strategies for this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Review of six patient cases diagnosed with Mirizzi syndrome.
  • Analysis of pre-operative diagnostic imaging, including ultrasonography and biliary tract opacification (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography).
  • Evaluation of intraoperative findings and surgical outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Pre-operative imaging, while suggestive, rarely provided a definitive diagnosis.
  • Ultrasonography findings included upper biliary tract dilatation with hepatic duct narrowing.
  • Intraoperative diagnosis was challenging due to inflammatory changes, sometimes leading to consideration of cholangiocarcinoma.

Conclusions:

  • Cholecystectomy with cystic duct recanalization is the primary treatment, alleviating compression and inflammation.
  • Management may necessitate common bile duct exploration and drainage in complex cases.
  • Early recognition and appropriate surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in Mirizzi syndrome.
