Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, a rare cause of bowel obstruction, was
described as a complication associated with peritoneal dialysis which is much feared
because of its severity. The authors report a case where radiological findings in
association with clinical symptoms have allowed for a noninvasive diagnosis of
sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis, emphasizing the high sensitivity and
specificity of computed tomography to demonstrate the characteristic findings of such
a condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
