Impaction of a gallstone in the cystic duct or neck of the gallbladder can cause partial hepatic duct
obstruction. Mirizzi originally described the syndrome of obstructive jaundice presented in the patient
with gallstone in 1948. Cholecystobiliary fistula is a complicated form of Mirizzi syndrome in longstanding
cholecystitis. A 70 year-old female was admitted due to jaundice. On laparotomy, the right heaptic
duct was compressed by distended gallbladder. The other 60 year-old male patient was referred with
jaundice. The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy two years ago. A large stone was
migrated from remnant cystic duct through a cholecystocholedochal fistula. We report two cases of
Mirizzi syndrome with a review of literature.
