  • Title: Can Mirizzi syndrome be classified into acute and chronic form? An endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) study.
    Author: Morelli A, Narducci F, Ciccone R.
    Journal: Endoscopy; 1978 May; 10(2):109-12. PubMed ID: 658024.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of Mirizzi syndrome (partial mechanical obstruction of the common hepatic duct owing to compression by a stone impacted in the cystic duct or gallbladder neck, or due to the inflammatory reaction resulting from compression) are reported. The roentgen features at endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) are discussed. As there are two causes for obstruction, compression or chronic fibrosing reaction resulting from compression, two characteristic X-ray findings and two operating techniques, the authors contend that Mirizzi syndrome should be classified as acute or chronic.
