Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis (SEP) is a very rare
entity characterized by encasement of small intestine by a fibro collagenous
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.
