Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (FHCS) is defined as inflammation on the surface of the liver following sexually transmitted chlamydia infection. We successfully observed the microvascular structure of the inflamed portion between the abdominal wall and surface of the liver in an elderly patient with FHCS using a superb microvascular imaging (SMI) system, a new technology developed for observing minute vascular flow. An 80-year-old Japanese female with right dorsal to lateral abdominal pain and fever came to our hospital. Anti-chlamydia antibodies were positive. SMI revealed signals suggesting small vessels passing from the liver surface to the hypoechoic space.
