itz-Hugh‐Curtis syndrome is characterized by right-sided abdominal pain and “perihepatitis” associated with pelvic inflammatory disease. Crosssectional imaging findings of localized right upper quadrant peritonitis associated with salpingitis should suggest the diagnosis. We report a case of Fitz-Hugh‐Curtis syndrome in which multidetector CT showed a reversible dynamic perfusion abnormality in the right hepatic lobe, in addition to pericholecystic inflammatory changes. To our knowledge, gallbladder wall thickening on either CT or sonography has not been previously reported in this syndrome. We are also unaware of any previous reports describing intraparenchymal liver findings on CT, which were likely due to partial hepatic venous outflow obstruction from perihepatic and capsular inflammation.
