Mirizzi syndrome (MS) is an uncommon cause of gallstone disease caused by calculous cholecystitis resulting in extrinsic obstruction of the common bile duct, causing concurrent obstructive jaundice. An acalculous variant of MS, at times referred to as pseudo-MS, occurs even more rarely. We present the case of a patient who was found to have pseudo-MS complicated by several hepatic microabscesses. The patient was managed with an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with sphincterotomy and eventual cholecystectomy, with histopathology of the gallbladder confirming chronic cholecystitis. To our knowledge, the case presented here is the first in literature that identified pseudo-MS in a patient with pathology-confirmed chronic cholecystitis, and the first to be associated with hepatic abscesses; which usually occur with calculous rather than acalculous biliary disease.
