Remembering Fitz Hugh Curtis Syndrome
Remember the F.H.C. syndrome as Fibrotically-fixed Hepatic Capsule : this happens due to fibrotic adhesions that develop around the liver capsule following Pelvic Inflammatory Disease in women...
This is a rare complication of PID due to Gonococcus or Chlamydia...
And in the process do not forget that FHC originally stood for Fitz Hugh Curtis ..lol
