Abdominal cocoon syndrome (sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis) is a rare condition associated with clinical signs of intestinal dysfunction, episodes of small bowel obstruction and sometimes a palpable abdominal mass. We present the case of a 46-year-old male patient with clinical signs of intestinal obstruction caused by primary sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis.

Encapsulating Peritonitis

Background Abdominal cocoon, or sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, is a rare condition characterized by partial or total encasement of small bowel and mesentery by a thick fibrocollagenous sack that looks like a cocoon. Within the sack, bowel loops are drawn together causing intestinal obstruction. Case presentation We report on a 57-year-old female patient who developed a very unusual complication of ovarian cancer: abdominal cocoon formation. Conclusions This report highlights the need for a timely diagnosis of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis in cancer patients.

Abdominal cocoon or sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is a rare condition of unknown/ multifactorial etiology in which intestinal obstruction result from encasement of variable length of bowel by dense fibro collagenous membrane. A young adolescent girl reported with features of small bowel obstruction for more than one year. CT scan suggested features of internal obstruction. On exploration, she was found to have all viscous densely covered with a thick white gelatinous like membrane. The membrane was gently peeled off from the bowel. The patient recovered well and was discharged on an oral diet. Preoperative diagnosis of sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis is difficult and incidentally it is discovered on laparotomy. CECT is helpful in preoperative diagnosis. Main stay of treatment for this is surgery. Simple removal of the membrane after lysis of the adhesions produces optimal outcome. When the intestine is nonviable, bowel resection should be done. A high index of suspicion and appropriate radiology can prevent ‘surprises’ on laparotomy and unnecessary bowel resection. Simple removal of the membrane gives a good outcome.
