Abstract

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.
