Mirizzi’s syndrome is one of the rare complications of acute cholecystitis, but it is associated with significant morbidity. The diagnosis is difficult, and it is obtained preoperatively in 50% of cases, as the clinical symptoms are non-specific. The diagnosis is usually obtained from endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or by Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Ultrasound and computerized tomography have a low sensitivity to diagnose this condition. The treatment of Mirizzi’s syndrome depends on its grade. Grades 1 and 2 involve performing a cholecystectomy, grade 3 a subtotal cholecystectomy, and grade 4 may require performing a hepatic-enterostomy or choledochal-enterostomy. We have conducted this review article to examine the diagnosis and management of Mirizzi’s syndrome.
