Type 1 Mirizzi Syndrome- Cholelithiasis with Choledocholithiasis
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: An uncommon consequence of cholelithiasis, Mirizzi syndrome is characterized by blockage of the typical bile duct as a result of an impacted gall stone in the cystic duct or gallbladder neck. We describe the scenario of a 40-year-old woman who has had epigastric discomfort for a year and a recent fever. Type I Mirizzi disease with choledocholithiasis was verified by imaging and ERCP, while laboratory tests showed increased bilirubin and liver enzymes. Common bile duct stenting was used to treat the patient at first, and then laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Symptoms resolved and metabolic indicators returned to normal during the uncomplicated postoperative recovery period. This example emphasizes how crucial it is to identify Mirizzi syndrome early and treat it multidisciplinaryly in order to lower the risk for complications and enhance patient outcomes.
