چکیده
|
We report the first case of mirizzi syndrome in a patient who presented with biliary obstruction caused by pure calcium carbonate stones. a 61 years old male with history of portal vein thrombosis presented with rash,nausea and jaundice. an ultrasound of biliary tree showed gallstones with dilatation of hepatic duct and intrahepatic biliary tree. there was suspicion of a stone in proximal cbd. ct scan showed an opaque gallbladder with dense radio-opaque material in its lumen. an ercp was then performed revealing external common hepatic duct obstruction at the neck of the gallbladder. a plastic biliary stent was placed across the obstruction,followed by a cholecystectomy. resected gallbladder specimen revealed thick whitish paste like material,and formed stones filling the gallbladder lumen. laboratory testing showed this material to be composed of 100% calcium carbonate crystals. © 2016,pakistan medical association. all rights reserved.
