Abstract
•
Mirizzi syndrome is a rare entity.
•
Diagnosis can be overlooked due to lack of specific signs and symptoms.
•
MRCP can be useful in diagnosing while ERCP can be diagnostic as well as an interim therapeutic strategy.
•
Can be potentially life threatening, if left untreated, in the settings of gallbladder empyema and perforation.
•
Treatment is cholecystectomy, laparoscopic vs open, depending upon surgeon’s preference and experience.
