- Abstract
- Fitz-Hugh-Curtis (FHC) syndrome is hepatitis characterized by severe right upper abdominal pain associated with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), mimicking the symptoms of acute abdomen, such as in acute cholecystitis. FHC syndrome is becoming more common with the increasing incidence of PID in Korea. We treated eight patients with FHC syndrome, who visited our hospital with right upper quadrant abdominal pain. We emphasize the importance of spiral computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of right upper quadrant abdominal pain in sexually active young women. (Korean J Med 77:91-94, 2009)
