Presentation
Normal appearing bile can also be present. Various species of bacteria can be found in 11% to 30% of the cases. Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses are present 90% of the time in cholecystitis specimens. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Symptoms of recurrent cholangitis, jaundice, right upper quadrant pain, and elevated bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase may or may not be present. Acute presentations of the syndrome include symptoms consistent with cholecystitis. [en.wikipedia.org]
There is no specific clinical or laboratory presentation for Mirizzi syndrome. [scielo.br]

Gangrene
In all the three cases of AAC there was gangrenous inflammation of the gallbladder.9-11 Despite the absence of biliary drainage (it was placed only in 1 of 4 patients), jaundice and other symptoms successfully resolved. 4. [cyberleninka.org]

Constitutional Symptom
symptoms such as fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Colic
Patients who present with acute biliary colic are often worked up for cardiac issues. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, it is only symptomatic in 20–30% of patients, with biliary pain “colic” being the most Gallstones cause various problems besides simple biliary colic and choplecystitis. [bgtlm.co]

Loss of Appetite
She had no appreciable loss of appetite. She had a 20-year history of gallstones. Physical examination showed yellow sclerae, flat abdomen, slight tenderness in the right upper abdomen, no guarding, and no rebound tenderness. [journals.sagepub.com]

Jaundice
As a result, the CHD/CBD becomes obstructed by either scar or stone, resulting in obstructive jaundice. It can be divided into four types. [en.wikipedia.org]
Conservative treatment was undertaken, and symptoms of acute cholecystitis and jaundice gradually resolved. 2. [cyberleninka.org]
Gradually jaundice accompanied by darker urine and white, clay-like feces had appeared. [journals.sagepub.com]
Workup
Jaundice is usually present, and at times, significantly elevated bilirubin can be identified. [6] Evaluation The routine workup for cholecystitis should be initiated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
So, the use of highly sensitive diagnostic methods and a combination of endoscopic and surgical treatment can significantly improve the results of treatment of patients with Mirizzi syndrome. References 1. Alidzhanov, F. B., Rizaev, K. [reports-vnmedical.com.ua]
Treatment of Mirizzi Syndrome Surgical management is the mainstay treatment for Mirizzi Syndrome, although this is challenging for several reasons. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
The diagnosis of gallbladder cancer must be ruled out before or during surgery and an appropriate surgery must be performed because a second surgery to perform oncologic surgery has a poorer prognosis and outcome than a one-stage radical surgery[ 14 ] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology
The first published paper describing the syndrome which bears his name today was in 1940. [1] Etiology Gallstones are usually formed from bile that is in stasis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
There is no evidence of race having any bearing on the epidemiology. Eponym [ edit ] It is named for Pablo Luis Mirizzi (1893–1964), an Argentinian physician. [en.wikipedia.org]
This causes subsequent inflammation of the are which can also lead to fistula formation over time. [2] Epidemiology Epidemiology of gallstones must first be understood. Most gallstones are asymptomatic. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology
Surgery is extremely difficult as Calot's triangle is often completely obliterated and the risks of causing injury to the CBD are high. [2] Pathophysiology [ edit ] Multiple and large gallstones can become impacted in the Hartmann's pouch of the gallbladder [en.wikipedia.org]
The pathophysiology of gallstone ileus resembles that of Mirizzi syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In one (12.5%) anicteric patient, intra-operative cholangiography was not performed due to the finding of an extremely fine cystic duct that prevented its catheterization. [scielo.br]

Occluding cystic duct stones prevent complete filling of the cystic duct. More recently, MR cholangiopancreatography has been used to examine the gallbladder and cystic duct in the setting of acute cholecystitis. [pubs.rsna.org]
