Abstract

Febrile abdominal pains in a patient with risk factors for pelvic inflammatory disease should alert clinicians to the possibility that the disease could evolve unfavorably toward the formation of a tubo-ovarian abscess, an entity that puts the patient’s life at risk. We present a case of severe form of pelvic inflammatory disease complicated by perihepatitis in a 26-year-old female having history of intrauterine device removed two months ago. Its rapid diagnosis and treatment can avoid long term complications.
