Radiologic findings of Mirizzi syndrome with emphasis on MRI

We have reported a case of Mirizzi syndrome preoperatively diagnosed using MR cholangiopancreatography. MRCP and T2-weighted image using a single-shot fast spin-echo sequence accurately depicted all components of Mirizzi synd rome, including impacted stone in the neck of the gallbladder compressing t he common hepatic duct and wall-thickening of the gallbladder without any e vidence of malignancy. The combination of MRCP and Ta-weighted image can be counted on to replace conventional modalities of diagnosing Mirizzi syndro me without any loss of diagnostic accuracy.
