A case of acute Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome in a young woman with purulent peritonitis and acute purulent appendicitis and oophoritis is presented. Open emergency appendectomy was performed and peritoneal pus was drained. Neisseria gonorrhoeae was cultured from the peritoneal pus. The hepatic enzymes were found to be raised. The patient was successfully managed and is asymptomatic after three months follow-up. To our knowledge, this is the first case of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome reported from Kuwait.
