Fitz-hugh-curtis syndrome secondary to postpartum endometritis: Case Report and literature review

2021

We report a case of Fitz‑Hugh‑Curtis syndrome (FHCS) 1 week after an urgent cesarean section. Although its onset in the postpartum period is poorly reported in the literature, we suggest that FHCS can complicate puerperal endometritis; therefore, it should be consider in differential diagnosis in puerpera with right upper quadrant pain. Again, it can be useful to perform a contrast computed tomography that allows early diagnosis and conservative treatment

A case of Fitz Hugh Curtis syndrome mimicking an acute abdomen

2021

Fitz Hugh Curtis syndrome, also known as acute perihepatitis, associates pelvic inflammatory disease with the presence of Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae as the main causative pathogens.
 Symptomatology is a nonspecific one. Right upper quadrant pain, fever, nausea and vomiting are the most commonly encountered symptoms.
 Imaging data are also nonspecific and often show intra-abdominal changes with no particularity.
 As it is difficult to suspect Fitz Hugh Curtis syndrome upon first impression, laparoscopy and direct visualization of the peritoneum and liver adhesions are needed in the diagnostic process. The specific aspect of the fibrinous strands can raise t…

The double uterus associated with an obstructed hemivagina: Clinical management

1991

Abstract The clinical management of It) patients, 9 with uterus didelphys and 1 with complete septate uterus associated with an obstructed hemivagina, is described. The diagnostic evaluation revealed a complete unilateral obstruction in four patients, and an anomalous communication between the two uterovaginal channels in six. In all such patients, the presence of regular menses is frequently misleading, perhaps resulting in unnecessary laparotomy and inadequate or extirpative surgery with negative reproductive consequences. However, diagnosis is simplified if the gynecologist is aware of the malformation. Recommended treatment consists of evacuation of the retained menstruum and excision o…
