Imrani K, Maher S, Blata VA, Benelhosni K, Nassar I. Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome revealed by a suspected cholecystitis: A case report. Int J Case Rep Images 2020;11:101083Z01KI2020ABSTRACT
Fitz-Hugh–Curtis syndrome is characterized by inflammation of the liver capsule following the spread of a pelvic starting point infection. The most commonly involved germ is Chlamydia trachomatis. The clinical presentation can be misleading and simulate cholecystitis or other cause of pain in the right hypochondrium. In imaging, it results in a contrast enhancement characteristic of the hepatic capsule at portal time.
