    Author: Abul-Khoudoud OR, Khabbaz AY, Butcher CH, Farha MJ.

    Abstract:
    Perihepatitis or Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is a complication of pelvic inflammatory disease that usually leaves characteristic violin string adhesions on the anterior liver surface. These adhesions are common incidental findings on subsequent laparoscopy or laparotomy and are considered benign. We present a case of partial mechanical small bowel obstruction as a sequel of this syndrome that was diagnosed and treated laparoscopically.
