Idiopathic Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis: A case report and review of literature
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 8
Abstract
Idiopathic Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis (Abdominal Cocoon) is a rare cause of small bowel obstruction. We present a case of acute small bowel obstruction in a young male preoperatively diagnosed as Idiopathic Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis on computed tomography. A high index of clinical suspicion of such condition which can present with recurrent episodes of subacute intestinal obstruction supported by radiological investigations can help in preoperative diagnosis of such cases as most cases are incidentally diagnosed during laparotomy.
