Abstract :

Mirizzi syndrome is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice. ?is entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all patients with obstructive jaundice. Failure to recognize the condition preoperatively can result in a major bile duct injury, particularly during laparoscopic surgery. Here we are presenting a case of 70y male patient came with complaining of severe epigastric pain with yellowish discoloration of whole body since 1 month. We performed open cholecystectomy, 1 month after ERCP, in this patient uneventfully. Pt was discharged on post–operative day 5. In conclusion, clinicians need to diagnose and evaluate carefully in cases of obstructive jaundice and adopt an optimal strategy to avoid the complication associated with this disease.
