Type IV Mirizzi Syndrome at The Hepatic Confluence Mimicking a Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma

Mirizzi’s syndrome refers to common bile duct obstruction resulting from compression by a gallstone impacted in the cystic duct or neck of the gallbladder. Some cases can not be identified preoperatively, despite modern imaging techniques. Today, treatment of Mirizzi syndrome is surgical. The essential part of the management of patients with Mirizzi syndrome is to determine the best surgical procedure in the preoperative period. In type I patients, simple cholecystectomy is generally enough, but types II-IV require more complex surgical approach, such as cholecystectomy and bilioenteric anastomosis. Here, we presented a 48 year-old man with obstructive jaundice who diagnosed as Mirizzi’s syndrome.
