title: [A contribution to Mirizzi syndrome].
abstract: The Mirizzi-syndrome is an up to now little described, but apparently not in the least infrequent complication of the cholecystolithiasis with compression of the common hepatic duct by a concrement of the cystic duct with accompanying cholecystitis/pericholecystitis. The diagnosis is made by sonography, above all, however, by endoscopic-retrograde cholangiography (ERC) and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC). The difficulties of the demarcation to the tumour-caused obstruction of the bile duct and their importance for therapy and prognosis are described on the basis of a casuistics.
