    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Hepatobiliary Surgery

    Background:

    • Mirizzi syndrome is a rare complication of cholelithiasis where gallstones impact the cystic duct or gallbladder neck, leading to extrinsic compression of the common hepatic duct.
    • This condition can mimic other causes of biliary obstruction, necessitating thorough diagnostic evaluation.

    Observation:

    • A 56-year-old female presented with jaundice (icterus) and itching (pruritus) lasting one month.
    • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography revealed large stones in the cystic duct causing partial obstruction of the common hepatic duct.

    Findings:

    • The diagnostic findings were consistent with the typical presentation of Mirizzi syndrome.
    • Successful management was achieved through surgical intervention, specifically choledochojejunostomy and T-tube decompression.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of recognizing the clinical and radiographic features of Mirizzi syndrome for timely diagnosis.
    • Effective surgical management, including choledochojejunostomy and T-tube decompression, can lead to successful outcomes in patients with Mirizzi syndrome.
