Abstract

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a very rare entity characterized by encasement of small intestine by a fibrocollagenous membrane. It is divided into primary (idiopathic) which is named as abdominal cocoon and secondary forms. The preoperative diagnosis is difficult and most cases are diagnosed intraoperatively. A conservative treatment approach is the most suitable management strategy in asymptomatic idiopathic SEP.

In this paper, we aimed to present a case of idiopathic SEP revealed by intestinal obstruction.
