RESUMO
Mirizzi syndrome is a complication of cholelithiasis occurring in 0.25-6% of cases [1]. Clinical pattern includes jaundice due to prolapse of a large calculus into the common bile duct following cholecystocholedochal fistula. Ultrasound, CT, MRI, MRCP data, as well as some pathognomonic signs provide preoperative diagnostics of Mirizzi syndrome. In most cases, treatment of this syndrome requires open surgery. We report successful endoscopic treatment of a patient with long-standing bile stone disease complicated by Mirizzi syndrome. Postoperative complications of surgery performed in acute period of disease and further staged treatment using retrograde access are illustrated. Endoscopic treatment demonstrated minimally invasive management of disease presenting diagnostic and technical difficulties.
