Mirizzi's syndrome represents a rare complication of acute
cholecystitis, yet it is associated with considerable morbidity. The diagnosis
is challenging, with preoperative identification achieved in only 50% of cases
due to the non-specific nature of clinical symptoms. Typically, diagnosis is
facilitated through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or
magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), as ultrasound and computed
tomography exhibit low sensitivity for this condition. The treatment approach
for Mirizzi's syndrome is contingent upon its classification. Grades 1 and 2
necessitate a cholecystectomy, grade 3 requires a subtotal cholecystectomy, and
grade 4 may necessitate a hepatic-enterostomy or choledochal-enterostomy. This
review article has been conducted to examine the diagnostic and management
strategies for Mirizzi's syndrome.
