Fitz Hugh Curtis Syndrome

Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FCHS), also known as acute perihepatitis, is a rare disorder characterised by inflammation of the peritoneum and the tissues surrounding the liver. This syndrome can arise as a potential complication from a pelvic inflammatory disease caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Chlamydia trachomatis. This is a case of 26 years’ healthy asymptomatic woman with primary infertility where this syndrome was diagnosed incidentally during laproscopy.

Fitz Hugh Curtis Syndrome

Perihepatitis is an uncommon condition defined as the inflammation of the peritoneal liver capsule. It is more commonly known as Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome, a rare condition characterized by the inflammation of the peritoneum and tissue around the liver. This syndrome is usually associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). However, PID is not always the cause of perihepatitis. We reported a rare case of perihepatitis which occurs secondarily to sigmoid colonic perforation.

Zusammenfassung. Die Adnexitis, im anglo-amerikanischen Sprachgebrauch hat sich der Sammelbegriff Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) durchgesetzt, stellt ein häufiges medizinisches Problem dar. Die Diagnose einer PID kann schwierig sein, da die klinischen Manifestationen unspezifisch sind und sie andere Becken- und Bauchprozesse imitieren können. Infektionen im Bereich der Adnexen können schwerwiegend sein und Langzeitkomplikationen (chronische Unterbauchschmerzen, Infertilität) verursachen, weshalb eine rasche Diagnosestellung und der frühzeitige Beginn einer adäquaten Antibiotika Therapie von grosser Wichtigkeit sind. Unkomplizierte PID haben meistens einen günstigen Verlauf, bei komplizierten Formen mit Tuboovarialabzess ist meist eine operative Exploration notwendig.
