ncapsulating peritoneal sclerosis, also known as abdominal Cocoon syndrome (ACS) is a rare condition presenting with small-bowel obstruction due to a thick fibrous membrane encasing portions of the intestine. We present the case of a 29-years-old pregnant woman referring to abdominal pain in the last three days. Her past medical and surgical history was unremarkable, and she had never complained of similar symptoms ever before; she had no history of previous abdominal operations or medication. On clinical examination, the abdomen was tender and distended; the patient was pregnant; the US was ordered, and analysis revealed a 13-weeks old fetus.This report aimed to evaluate the radiological and clinical characteristic of ACS in a pregnant patient using MRI.
