Article Synopsis
- Mirizzi syndrome arises from gallstone disease, where a gallstone blocks the cystic duct, leading to duct obstruction, chronic inflammation, and potential complications like fistulas.
- Numerous classifications exist to categorize severity, with the widely used Csendes classification identifying five types based on fistula presence and severity.
- Clinical symptoms are often vague and can mimic other serious conditions; however, effective preoperative diagnosis aids surgical planning, with cholecystectomy being the standard treatment approach, though the extent of the disease and surgical expertise influence management options.
