description | Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is associated with the presence of perihepatic adhesions, with or without associated symptoms. It is, most commonly, a result of chlamydial or gonococcal infections. We present a case of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome in an asymptomatic female patient who underwent a routine laparoscopic sterilization. The patient had, otherwise, normal intraoperative findings and negative laboratory investigations. The patient had a past history of tuberculosis infection, for which she had received treatment 10 years ago. We also present the literature relevant to our case report. |
