They found that in the Hospital de San José the prevalence was 3.85%, suggesting that this syndrome is a bigger problem in our environment than it is elsewhere, since the literature from the rest of the world reports a frequency between 0.7% and 1.4% for Mirizzi syndrome. This disease is almost never diagnosed prior to surgery.
Si tenemos en cuenta que la literatura mundial informa una frecuencia del síndrome de Mirizzi de 0,7 a 1,4% esta prevalencia en el Hospital de San José de 3,85% sugeriría que en nuestro medio el problema es mayor.
