The Mirizzi syndrome refers to benign obstruction of the common hepatic duct by a stone impacted within the neck or cystic duct of the gallbladder, which causes extrinsic compression of the common hepatic duct and obstructive jaundice. Although a rare cause of obstructive jaundice, it remains a clinically and surgically challenging problem. Five patients with the Mirizzi syndrome were culled fr...

Mirizzi syndrome is the compressive blockage of the cystic or choledochal duct caused by a biliary stone occupying the cystic canal or Hartmann's pouch. This occurrence is rare and, in English literature, three cases defined in children have been observed. In order to draw attention to this rare occurrence, we preferred a 14-year-old male patient with Mirizzi syndrome. In this case, ERCP was pe...

Surgery is standard management for patients with Mirizzi syndrome. In cases of Mirizzi syndrome type II, laparoscopic surgery is evenmore complicated because of the cholecystocholedochal fistula. Endoscopic treatment for Mirizzi syndrome is still controversial except to relieve a bile duct obstruction [1,2]. This report describes a successful endoscopic treatment for Mirizzi syndrome type II wi...
