Özet
Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS) is defined as peritoneal capsule inflammation of the liver. This disease is thought to be a complication of an ascending genital infection. A young sexually active woman was admitted to our emergency department with an acute right upper quadrant abdominal pain and diagnosed as FHCS via computed tomography examination. She was treated conservatively with adequate antibiotherapy. This syndrome should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of acute abdominal pain diseases to avoid unnecessary surgery.
