Abstract
Mirizzi's syndrome is a rare complication of chronic vesicular lithiasis with prevalence ranging from 0.7% to 1.4% among patients who have undergone cholecystectomy. It is characterized by cholestatic icterus associated with compression of the common bile duct due to lodged calculus in the vesicular neck or in the cystic duct. The disease can evolve toward the erosion through the common hepatic duct wall and, therefore, it can cause the formation of a gallbladder-biliary fistula. We here report a case of Mirizzi's syndrome type I in order to highlight the role of preoperative diagnosis which is made easier by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography or by cholangio-MRI, allowing to avoid iatrogenic bile duct injuries. We conducted a review of the available literature on various aspects of this syndrome, including its pathogenesis, diagnosis and management.Entities:
