Overview
Mirizzi’s syndrome is an uncommon clinical condition caused by the compression of common hepatic duct due to impaction of gallstone in cystic duct or neck of the gallbladder. This results in jaundice, which could be due to direct extrinsic compression of the bile duct or fibrosis caused by chronic cholecystitis (inflammation). The chronic inflammation and ulceration may also result in cholecystobiliary fistula or cholecystoenteric fistula.
Historical Perspective
This clinical condition was first described in early 1900s by Kehr and Ruge. However, the term “Mirizzi Syndrome” was adopted in 1948 after the work of Pablo Mirizzi. [1] Hence, it is named for Pablo Mirizzi.[2][3]
