Acute acalculous cholecystitis complicated by MRCP-confirmed Mirizzi syndrome: A case report

摘要

INTRODUCTIONAcute acalculous cholecystitis can be complicated by extrinsic compression of the common hepatic/common bile duct by the enlarged and inflamed gallbladder followed by jaundice. Its mechanism is very similar to that of Mirizzi syndrome, when the bile duct is compressed from outside due to a stone impacted in the gallbladder neck or cystic duct. This complication of acalculous cholecystitis is rare, with very little number of published cases.
