title: [Mirizzi's syndrome: a rare cause of obstructive jaundice].
abstract: We present five patients with Mirizzi syndrome diagnosed by ERCP. This syndrome is a rare cause of obstructive jaundice due to common biliary duct compression by a gallstone impacted in the cystic duct, neck of the gallbladder or Hartmann's pouch. Complications are bilio-biliary fistula, cholangitis and secondary biliary cirrhosis. Diagnostic methods, importance of preoperative diagnosis and surgical technics are reviewed.
