Abstract
Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is a rare complication of chronic cholelithiasis. The syndrome describes gallstone obstruction of Hartmann's pouch or the cystic duct that extrinsically compresses the common hepatic duct, causing obstructive jaundice. In advanced cases, the gallstones may erode into the biliary tree creating a fistula, requiring prompt diagnosis and careful surgical management. We present a case of an 82-year-old female who presented with upper abdominal pain and jaundice, later diagnosed with suspected MS type I, and managed surgically. We aim to highlight MS type I because of the potential progression and damage to the bile duct, creating complications that may affect overall patient outcome.
