Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery

Background:

  • Obstructive jaundice can arise from uncommon etiologies.
  • Gallstone disease is a prevalent condition affecting the biliary system.

Observation:

  • A case of Mirizzi Syndrome is presented, characterized by a gallstone in the cystic duct causing external compression of the common bile duct.
  • This anatomical anomaly leads to biliary obstruction and subsequent jaundice.

Findings:

  • The literature review covers the typical clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities (e.g., imaging studies), and varied surgical approaches for Mirizzi Syndrome.
  • Successful surgical treatment often involves addressing both the stone and the biliary compression.

Implications:

  • Understanding Mirizzi Syndrome is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective management of obstructive jaundice.
