Peritoneal encapsulation is a rare congenital cause of bowel obstruction in children. We present the case of a 12-year-old male with severe dehydration and recurrent episodes of vomiting. This pathology should be considered in cases of bowel obstruction with a virgin abdomen.

Abstract Introduction Small bowel obstruction can be caused by multiple factors. We describe an unusual case of small bowel obstruction secondary to three rare factors: gallstone ileus, peritoneal encapsulation and congenital adhesional band. Case Presentation A seventy-nine-year-old male presented with a four-day history of obstipation and abdominal pain. CT abdomen pelvis revealed small bowel obstruction secondary to gallstone ileus. The patient was managed by laparotomy. The intraoperative findings revealed the presence of a congenital peritoneal encapsulation with an adhesional band and gallstone proximal to the ileo-caecal valve. Although there was some dusky small bowel, this recovered following the release of the band. Discussion Peritoneal Encapsulation is a rare congenital pathology resulting in the formation of an accessory peritoneal membrane around the small bowel. This condition is asymptomatic and rarely presents as small bowel obstruction. The diagnosis is often made at laparotomy. There are less than 60 cases reported in literature. Gallstone ileus is another rare entity caused by an inflamed gallbladder adhering to part of the bowel resulting in a fistula. Conclusions The rarity of these conditions mean that they are poorly understood. A combination of this triad of gall stone ileus in the presence of peritoneal encapsulation and congenital band has not been reported before. Knowledge of this would raise awareness, facilitate diagnosis and management of patients.

Severe Peritonitis

In a previous study of fungal peritoneal injury in peritoneal dialysis patients, complement (C)-dependent pathological changes were developed in zymosan (Zy)-induced peritonitis by peritoneal scraping. However, the injuries were limited to the parietal peritoneum and did not show any fibrous encapsulation of the visceral peritoneum, which differs from human encapsular peritoneal sclerosis (EPS). We investigated peritoneal injury in a rat model of Zy-induced peritonitis pretreated with methylglyoxal (MGO) instead of scraping (Zy/MGO peritonitis) to clarify the role of C in the process of fibrous encapsulation of the visceral peritoneum. Therapeutic effects of an anti-C5a complementary peptide, AcPepA, on peritonitis were also studied. In Zy/MGO peritonitis, peritoneal thickness, fibrin exudation, accumulation of inflammatory cells, and deposition of C3b and C5b-9 with loss of membrane C regulators were increased along the peritoneum until day 5. On day 14, fibrous encapsulation of the visceral peritoneum was observed, resembling human EPS. Peritoneal injuries and fibrous changes were significantly improved with AcPepA treatment, even when AcPepA was administered following injection of Zy in Zy/MGO peritonitis. The data show that C5a might play a role in the development of encapsulation-like changes in the visceral peritoneum in Zy/MGO peritonitis. AcPepA might have therapeutic effects in fungal infection-induced peritoneal injury by preventing subsequent development of peritoneal encapsulation.
