RIVERO-SANCHEZ, Liseth; LOPEZ-SORIANO, Elsa María e GUARNER-AGUILAR, Luisa. Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome: abdominal pain in women of 26 years old. Rev. esp. enferm. dig. [online]. 2011, vol.103, n.10, pp.546-548. ISSN 1130-0108. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1130-01082011001000009.
Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is an inflammation of the liver capsule as a complication of pelvic inflammatory disease, whose most common etiologic agent is the C. trachomatis. The acute phase of the Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome may present itself with pain in right upper abdomen, commonly confused with other hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal tract diseases. Definitive diagnosis is now possible with non-invasive techniques such as ultrasound, computed tomography, as well as techniques to isolate the responsible germ, available in most centers.
