Fitz Hugh Curtis syndrome is a rare disease that occurs when the tissue around the liver swells due to pelvic inflammatory disease. The condition is also known as “perihepatitis syndrome” or “gonococcal perihepatitis.”
Moreover, a woman’s reproductive system is often affected by this condition. Usually, sexually transmitted infections, like chlamydia and gonorrhea, are the common causes. Uterus inflammation, as well as inflammation in the fallopian tubes, ovaries, vagina, or cervix, are the most common symptoms.
Furthermore, this inflammation can sometimes extend to the liver’s coating or the tissue in the abdomen surrounding the liver. The diaphragm, the muscles that divide the abdominal cavity from the chest, can also be affected.
