| Abstract | Post-cholecystectomy Mirizzi syndrome (PCMS) is characterized by symptoms of recurrent abdominal pain, jaundice, and fever in patients who underwent cholecystectomy. Imaging is crucial in the diagnosis of PCMS and Mirizzi syndrome. Imaging modalities have evolved over the years with abdominal ultrasonography, computed tomography of the abdomen, and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography being used in the diagnosis of PCMS and Mirizzi syndrome. The imaging findings show obstruction of the common hepatic duct due to impingement by a stone in the cystic duct or gallbladder infundibulum. PCMS management has evolved over the years with the current first-line management being endoscopic intervention. This case describes a 61-year-old male presenting with recurrent right upper quadrant pain two years after undergoing cholecystectomy due to cholelithiasis. The patient was later diagnosed with PCMS, and endoscopic management was performed with complete resolution of the symptoms. |
