Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is an uncommon, chronic manifestation of pelvic inflammatory disease which occurs almost exclusively in women. It is characterized by inflammation of the membrane lining the stomach (peritoneum) and the tissues surrounding the liver (perihepatitis).

Most cases of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome are linked to chlamydia or gonorrhea infections in PID. It is marked by sudden, severe pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, just below the ribs. The patient may also feel pain on the right shoulder and right arm. Moving usually makes it worse. And some common symptoms like fever, chills, malaise, hiccups, headache, night sweats, diarrhoea and vomiting are also seen.
