ABSTRACT

Encapsulating sclerosing peritonitis is a rare entity characterized by the formation of a fibrocollagenous membrane as a result of chronic peritoneal irritation and inflammation, presenting as a picture of intestinal occlusion. The diagnosis is suspected tomographically (cocoon sign), however the definitive diagnosis is during surgery. This clinical case is about a male patient in his 6th decade of life with multiple comorbidities who presented with intestinal occlusion. Conservative management without response was started, that's why surgical management was decided.
