Idiopathic sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis: a rare cause of intestinal obstruction

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) also known as abdominal cocoon is an uncommon condition that is characterized by the encasement of the small bowel by a fibro-collagenic membrane leading to clustering of the bowel, and thus may rarely cause intestinal obstruction. Only few cases of this disease have been reported in world literature. The etiology of this condition is unknown, and it is usually diagnosed incidentally on exploration. Surgery (membrane dissection and extensive adhesiolysis) is the treatment of choice. We report a case of SEP in a 38-year-old male patient.
