ABSTRACT

Background.:Mirizzi syndrome is a rare issue where the bile duct gets blocked. It can be tricky to diagnose until surgery and many cases go unnoticed. An MRI test called MRCP is useful for spotting bile duct problems non-invasively. Case Report. A 36-year-old man was admitted to the hospital with upper right abdominal pain, jaundice, fever, nausea, vomiting, and dark urine. Tests revealed high bilirubin levels and raised liver enzymes. An MRCP scan found multiple stones blocking his bile ducts. After cholecystectomy and stone removal, doctors diagnosed him with Mirizzi Syndrome type IV. Conclusions.Mirizzi syndrome is a rare condition causing jaundice from bile duct blockage. It's crucial to diagnose it before surgery to avoid complications. MRCP is an effective tool for spotting bile duct problems and is almost as good as ERCP. It accurately detects bile stones and may replace ERCP for this purpose..
